Forbidden phrase
Health or treatment claims forbidden by sector rules are searched for in the listing text.
Authex regulatory compliance audit is an audit solution that checks product listings on sales and promotion channels against your sector's regulatory rules, detects forbidden phrases and missing disclosures with evidence and reports them. Each non-compliance is recorded with its responsible party; the brand's team or legal adviser makes the legal assessment and decides on the correction.
Overview
A regulatory compliance audit compares the wording and disclosures in listings by dealers, authorized sellers and marketplace sellers with the rules of your sector. A treatment claim in a cosmetics listing or a missing allergen statement in a food listing stays online under the brand's name even when the brand did not create the listing.
Authex uses country-specific rule sets, led by Türkiye and the European Union, for cosmetics, food and beverage, food supplements, over-the-counter medicines, apparel, automotive and electronics. Each listing is checked for forbidden phrases, required disclosures such as country of origin, allergens or ingredient lists, and claim substantiation. The audit reads the listing's product name, description and price text; it does not see images, labels or packaging.
Each non-compliance is recorded with the relevant rule and split by responsible party: the brand owner, an authorized seller, an unauthorized seller, an app developer or an advertiser.
Because non-compliance is split by responsible party, the brand's team decides on next steps such as asking a dealer for a correction or reporting to the platform; a draft notice can also be prepared for each finding.
