Both the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) play a role in investigating and enforcing false or misleading health-related claims. As a rule, the FTC investigates false claims made in advertising copy while the FDA investigates claims made on product packaging or associated materials. Internet based material, which serves both an advertising and a labeling function, is monitored by both agencies.
