FAQ

Frequently asked questions

RegaaS reviews labels for food, dietary supplements and cosmetics sold in the United States, and for food, food supplements and cosmetics sold in the European Union. Where a product sold in the United States is both a cosmetic and an over-the-counter drug, such as a sunscreen or an anti-dandruff shampoo, RegaaS reviews the cosmetic labeling requirements. The Drug Facts panel and the applicable OTC monograph requirements fall outside the review.

In the United States, RegaaS does not cover meat, poultry and egg products under USDA jurisdiction, alcoholic beverages regulated by TTB, USDA organic and bioengineered food disclosures, customs origin-marking rules for cosmetics, FTC advertising rules (claims printed on the label, such as environmental claims, are flagged, but the testing, certifications or other evidence behind them is not verified), or state requirements such as California Proposition 65 and state variations from NIST Handbook 130. In either market, the service reviews labeling only, and does not assess manufacturing or facility compliance.

RegaaS currently checks a label against the provisions listed below, for the product type and market you select. It does not check every rule that may apply to a label.

United StatesFood21 CFR Part 101, together with the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act, the major food allergen requirements of FD&C Act § 403(w), country of origin marking of imported food under 19 CFR Parts 134 and 102, and the net quantity and weights-and-measures provisions of NIST Handbook 130

Each finding cites the rule or source document on which it relies. Checks are based on the consolidated text of each regulation as in force on the date shown in the report. The scope of each regulation, and what falls outside it, is set out at [Regulations covered].

Yes. RegaaS is designed for people without a regulatory background. A report explains the issues it finds in plain language, can include suggested wording, and points to the rule or source document each issue relies on.

Results can be wrong or incomplete: the AI can misread a label, miss a requirement, cite the wrong rule or flag something that does not apply. A report with no findings does not mean a label complies. Every finding points to the rule it relies on.

A RegaaS review is not legal advice and not a guarantee that a label complies or that any authority will accept a product.

If a finding in a paid review misstates the regulation it cites, or applies a requirement that does not apply to your product, you may be eligible for a refund of that review under the conditions in the [Refund Policy].

Each account includes 3 free full reviews on Free start, the free plan, with the same checks as paid reviews. Free reviews are a one-time allowance and do not reset.

After that, you pay per review, with no subscription; the price is shown in your account before you buy. Enterprise plans are priced by separate agreement.

RegaaS does not use your uploads to train or fine-tune its own models. To produce a review, your label images and the text extracted from them are sent to AI model providers based in the United States, including OpenRouter, Google and Anthropic. These providers handle the data under their own terms and may keep inputs for limited periods, for example to monitor for abuse.

RegaaS's cloud servers are in Japan. Personal data is also processed in Taiwan, where the company is based, and in the United States by service providers.

Uploads and analysis results are kept until you ask for them to be deleted. Removing a report from your History in the app does not delete the underlying files. To request deletion, email service@vescir.com from your account's email address; deletion is completed within one month of verifying the request. Billing records are kept as long as tax and accounting law requires. See the [Privacy Policy].
