Notes on verification

Confirmed by multiple independent legal analyses (Arnold & Porter, Venable, Davis+Gilbert, FDLI) and news outlets (CNN) referencing the FDA's December 2024 final rule updating 'healthy' labeling criteria. Compliance deadline extends to 2028, but the substantive claim about disqualification is accurate.
