Health Claims Under Fire: Avoiding Deceptive Health-Related Claims in the Face of New Guidelines from FTC and FDA microphone-alt Jacqueline Chan, Assistant General Counsel, Regulatory & Marketing, Unilever

Raquiyyah Pippins, Partner, Arnold & Porter LLP John Graubert, Senior Counsel, Covington & Burling In 2023 the FTC finally issued its new Health Products Compliance Guidance, setting forth heightened substantiation requirements for health-related claims. While FTC’s original guidance—released some 25 years prior—applied only to dietary supplements, this latest guidance also applies to health claims made about foods, OTC drugs, devices, and any other health related consumer products.

Against this backdrop, the FDA issued a new definition of “healthy” for food labels. This panel will take a deep dive into what these new guidelines will mean for companies making health-related claims going forward.

• Examining the new and expanded substantiation requirements set forth by the FTC’s new guidance • Analyzing the new guidance’s emphasis on randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) » How much evidence, and what type of evidence, will be needed going forward to substantiate health-related claims? » Are there exceptions to using RCTs, what type of evidence can be used in lieu of RCTs, and how do advertisers document the relevance of this evidence?

• What expectations has FTC created in the guidance regarding clinical trial quality, practices and analysis, including statistical analysis of clinical trial results?

• Addressing how the new guidelines will impact the use of ingredient clinical studies • Understanding how court precedent impacts the guidance and what to do where precedent contradicts FTC’s guidance updates • Taking a look at health claims from a supplier’s standpoint: what level of substantiation is needed?

• Examining FDA’s proposed new definition of “healthy” and how it will impact claims made by food, supplement and other companies

Companies are quickly learning that Artificial Intelligence can be a powerful tool in creating and enhancing advertising campaigns. However, with all eyes now on AI (including the regulators’), companies must tread very carefully in ensuring that ad claims made through AI-enabled methods are legally compliant. What’s more, the FTC has recently made it clear that the mere mention of AI in ad claims will be heavily scrutinized. This panel will delve into the latest ways that AI is being used in the world of advertising and the biggest legal and compliance risks that companies must be aware of.

Topics of discussion include: • Analyzing the latest ways that generative AI models are being used in ad campaigns • Examining the legal and compliance risks of using AI chat bots to generate ad ideas and content (e.g. ChatGPT, Google Bard, etc.) » Understanding how to sufficiently document the creative process used to create ads when using AI » Uncovering “hallucinations” or misinformation in ads created in whole or in part by AI • Identifying the risks of using computer-generated “virtual influencers” to connect with followers and sway consumer purchase decisions » Assessing the FTC’s recent focus on virtual influencers engaged in “review hijacking” » Understanding how virtual influencers can legally push a product while providing sufficient disclosures and information to the consumer • Best practices for making and substantiating claims made about AI in your advertising » Taking a look at the latest FTC enforcement activity against companies mentioning AI in their marketing
