Read the actual Facts panel first

Read the panel heading

The three exact label images checked here display Nutrition Facts. Even where a seller casually calls a powder a supplement, that wording is not a substitute for inspecting the actual marketed product and regulatory labeling.

Understand the distinction

FDA explains that products labeled dietary supplements carry Supplement Facts and an identifying supplement statement, with certain exceptions. Conventional food and dietary supplement categories have different labeling frameworks; a protein ingredient alone does not decide the classification.

Keep the scope narrow

This guide reports the observed panel heading, not a legal determination about every product in a brand. Ask the manufacturer if a product identity or label is unclear. Final regulatory and health-content review remains pending before public release.

A practical record to keep

Photograph or save the actual panel heading with the exact variant. A nutrition panel from another market or an older package may be different. If the page uses supplement wording but the selected label shows Nutrition Facts, retain both observations and ask the maker when classification matters. A merchant category or a sports-themed image is not an independent regulatory opinion.

Before you decide

• Keep the exact selected label and variant
• Separate observed facts from your assumptions
• Refresh current product and checkout information
