Labeling Question

[Emma_]

Hi All!

I am being to sell my soap products, but when it comes to labeling, the FDA website states that I need to include the street address of my business on my products, which is also my home address. Do you know if a PO Box address assigned to the business would suffice? This is a link to the info I read on the FDA website:

Thank you in advance!

It's pretty clear and unambiguous. But here's the FDA fact sheet for hand crafters where this requirement might be spelled out more fully: http://www.fda.gov/Cosmetics/ResourcesForYou/Industry/ucm388736.htm#11

Marie Gale is a wonderful resource for more info about soap and cosmetic labeling: http://www.mariegale.com/quick-labeling-faq/

From the Marie Gale link DeeAnna just posted:

"Can a Mailbox Service (like UPS or Mailboxes Etc) be used?

No. The address needs to be the “place where business is conducted.” Obviously, you aren’t sitting in Kinko’s or the UPS store carrying out your business activities."


I don't know why, but this strikes me as being hilarious. How does she know I'm not hanging out at the local Kinky's doing business?

My business address is also my home address, and it has been that way for the past 14 years. I've never had a problem with my address being on my product labeling and on my business website -- no prank calls, no strange visitors, nothing.

I've called it that for years. And it's BiHi, not BiLo, just so you know...
