Supplement retailer serving and label evidence for AI

A shelf card can use one amount while a product label reports it per serving.

NAICS 456191 · Food (Health) Supplement Retailers

A shelf card can use one amount while a product label reports it per serving. FDA’s dietary supplement resources explain label information. A retailer can create a synthetic comparison that tests denominator and source retrieval. FDA dietary supplement questions and answers

Invent two labels with different serving counts and a mock promotional card that makes an unsupported benefit claim. Ask which numeric fields can be compared and what the label actually says. The reviewer scores evidence, units and unsupported assertions independently.

Use generic packaging and no active products, health data, real endorsements or shopper histories. Keep safety, efficacy and consumption advice outside the task.

Describe an original supplement label exercise

Original Fiund exercise

A per-serving amount cannot be compared with a whole-package amount without a denominator

Two original inert containers use a fictional ingredient code and arbitrary units. No active product, health data, consumption recommendation or efficacy claim is established.

Fictional records supplied to the evaluator
RecordSourceWhat it records
SDS1Label AIngredient DEMO-X: 3 practice units per serving; 10 servings per package. Original text contains no benefit statement.
SDS2Label BDEMO-X: 24 practice units per package; 8 servings per package. No evidence about efficacy or ingredient equivalence beyond this artificial code.
SDS3Mock promotional cardClaims B has eight times A's per-serving amount because 24/3=8, and asserts a health benefit without any supporting source.

Question for the model

What same-basis comparison follows from the labels, and what promotional assertions remain unsupported?

Show the reference answer and checks

SDS1 states three units per serving and 30 per package. SDS2's 24 per package over eight servings gives three per serving, equal to A's fictional per-serving field. SDS3's eight-times claim mixes a whole package with one serving and is unsupported on the requested basis. Its benefit claim has no evidence in either label. Preserve both denominators and make no safety, effectiveness or consumption inference.

  • Comparing per-package and per-serving amounts directly.
  • Treating an amount field or unsupported promotional text as proof of benefit.

Fields to preserve

Product and stated amount basis
Defines each label field.
Serving count and normalized quantity
Supports arithmetic.
Claim source and support state
Separates numeric evidence from efficacy assertions.

Test another case

Remove B's serving count. Require its package amount to remain known while the per-serving comparison becomes unresolved.

Use original inert packaging and fictional values. Exclude real endorsements, shoppers and health information; no supplement advice is given.
