FMCG & Consumer Brands Advertising Compliance

Consumer brands run always-on, high-velocity campaigns — which means more claims, more creative, and more exposure if a comparative statement or a health claim goes unchecked. BrandEnsure keeps pace with the posting cadence without letting substantiation slip.

Compliance Requirements

Ad-Specific Rules We Screen Every Consumer Campaign Against

These are the recurring compliance categories our Compliance Shield checks on every FMCG and consumer-brand ad.

⚖️

Comparative-Advertising Substantiation

Any claim made against a competitor's product is backed by supporting data on file before the ad airs.

🥗

Health & Nutrition Claim Limits

Health and nutrition benefit claims are checked against evidence appropriate to the product category before publishing.

📢

Endorsement & Influencer Disclosure

Every sponsored or influencer post carries a clear, platform-compliant disclosure — no implied-organic sponsored content.

🏷️

"Free" & Discount Claim Conditions

"Free" and percentage-off claims always carry the conditions that apply, not just the headline number.

📦

Packaging & Label Claim Consistency

Every ad claim is checked against what's printed on the approved product label — no divergence between ad and pack.

🧒

Children-Directed Advertising Restrictions

Age-appropriate targeting exclusions are applied automatically for product categories with advertising-to-children restrictions.
