How to use this worksheet
- Use one row per promise and location. Review the title, label, images, directions, selected reviews, search description, and advertising.
- Copy the exact words and describe their main implication. A testimonial can still communicate the same product promise as an advertisement.
- Add the specific supporting document and any relevant sponsorship, gift, or commission disclosure. Leave missing information visible instead of writing a general reassurance.
- Write a proposed change and name who will make it. After the change, check the whole listing again so an old image or headline does not repeat the removed claim.
When to pause
Remove unsupported promises and get qualified advice when the product category, market requirements, or evidence is unclear. The worksheet does not decide legal compliance.
Completed example
The fictional image claim is removed. “Fresh citrus scent” is an illustration only and must be accurate for the product; it does not resolve the product’s legal category.
