Substantiate your claims

You must be prepared to substantiate any advertised claims you make about your products. This includes, but is not limited to:

• claims about the country of origin of goods, that is, claims that a product (or part of a product) was made, produced, manufactured or grown in a particular country
• premium or credence claims that give the impression that a product, or one of its attributes, has some kind of added benefit when compared to similar products and services, for example promoting a product as being of a perceived quality ('Swiss chocolate' or 'Belgian beer') or suggesting a product is safer ('non-toxic') or has a nutritional benefit ('fat free')
• environmental claims about a product's environmental sustainability, recycling, energy and water efficiency or impact on animals and the natural environment, for example 'green', 'environmentally safe' or 'fully recycled'.
