Why Juris Law Group?

Nationwide Representation for Food, Beverage & CPG Companies.

Juris Law Group advises companies operating at the intersection of food and beverage law, FDA regulatory compliance, and consumer product enforcement. From our California offices, we represent food, beverage, dietary supplement, cosmetic, and CPG brands nationwide in matters involving labeling compliance, recalls, Proposition 65 exposure, advertising claims, and trademark protection.

Our practice focuses exclusively on regulated consumer products and the statutory frameworks that govern them.

Our work centers on regulated consumer products — not general corporate matters.

What Types of Companies Do We Represent?

We represent:

Food and beverage manufacturers
Dietary supplement brands
Cosmetic and personal care companies
Importers and distributors
Private label retailers
E-commerce brands shipping nationwide
International companies entering the U.S. market

Many of our clients are headquartered outside California but sell into the state. Others are California-based companies expanding nationally. Federal regulatory law applies across all states, and California law frequently shapes national compliance strategy.

What Laws Govern Food and Consumer Products?

Food and CPG companies are regulated under multiple statutory frameworks. Understanding how these laws intersect is central to risk management.

Federal Regulatory Framework

Law	What It Covers	Why It Matters
Federal Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act (FDCA)	Food, beverages, supplements, cosmetics	Prohibits adulteration and misbranding
Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)	Manufacturing and imports	Preventive controls and supplier verification
21 CFR Part 101	Food labeling requirements	Nutrition panels, ingredient lists, claims
FTC Act (Section 5)	Advertising nationwide	Prohibits deceptive marketing practices
Lanham Act	Trademarks & false advertising	Competitor disputes and brand protection
USDA-FSIS Regulations	Meat and poultry products	Label approval and recall authority

California Regulatory Overlay

Law	Impact on National Brands
Proposition 65	Chemical exposure warning requirements
Unfair Competition Law (UCL)	Consumer protection lawsuits
Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA)	Class action exposure
California Sherman Law	State-level enforcement parallel to FDCA

California remains one of the most active jurisdictions for consumer product litigation. Companies selling nationally often face exposure there regardless of where they are based.

How Do We Advise on FDA Compliance and Labeling?

Labeling errors are among the most common triggers for enforcement and litigation. We advise on:

Ingredient and additive review
GRAS analysis
Allergen labeling requirements
Nutrition Facts compliance
“Natural,” “healthy,” and nutrient content claims
Supplement labeling under DSHEA
Cosmetic ingredient disclosure requirements

We regularly assist companies before labels are printed and before products reach retail distribution. Early review reduces the risk of costly relabeling or recall.

How Do We Handle Recalls and FDA Investigations?

Recalls and agency inquiries require coordinated legal and operational response. We advise on:

FDA warning letters
Import alerts and shipment detentions
Voluntary recall strategy
Recall classification analysis (Class I, II, III)
Retailer notification and contractual obligations
Public communications
Corrective action planning

FDA Recall Classifications

Classification	Description	Example
Class I	Reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences	Undeclared major allergen
Class II	Temporary or medically reversible health consequences	Labeling defect
Class III	Unlikely to cause adverse health consequences	Technical regulatory violation

Our work often continues beyond the recall event to address long-term compliance improvements.

How Do We Address Class Action and Advertising Risk?

Marketing language is frequently the focus of consumer litigation. Claims involving “natural,” “clean,” “non-toxic,” or health-related benefits are regularly challenged.

We advise on:

Claim substantiation review
Advertising compliance audits
Website and digital marketing review
Influencer and endorsement compliance
False advertising disputes under federal and state law

Many lawsuits arise from language that was never evaluated through a regulatory lens.

How Do We Support Trademark and Brand Protection Strategy?

Brand protection and regulatory compliance often overlap. A product name, slogan, or packaging decision can raise both trademark and false advertising issues.

We assist with:

USPTO trademark clearance and registration
Likelihood-of-confusion analysis
Office Action responses
Opposition and cancellation proceedings
Brand portfolio strategy for growing CPG companies

When Should You Contact Regulatory Counsel?

Companies often seek legal guidance after a product is launched or after receiving an agency notice. Earlier consultation allows greater flexibility in addressing labeling, ingredient, marketing, and distribution decisions.

Common points of engagement include:
