What this is. We compare what a listing claims against what public records show — label arithmetic, barcode registries, NIH’s label catalog, FDA enforcement data, certification registries, and published research. Every statement below traces to one of those.
What the states mean. Confirmed = an outside source agrees. Contradicted = an outside source disagrees. Caution = something needs explaining. No data = we looked and found nothing — a gap, not a strike.
What it is not. A clean record is not an endorsement and never proof a product works. A thin record is not an accusation. We publish evidence and gaps; the conclusion is yours. Nothing here is medical advice.
Something wrong? Every figure is meant to be checkable — sources are named and linked. Send a correction and we’ll fix the record.
The listing-image panel publishes an amount for each of its 10 listed rows. That supports ingredient-by-ingredient review; it does not verify the contents.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calories | 15 | — | |
| Total Carbohydrate | 3 g | — | |
| Total Sugars | 2 g | — | |
| Includes Added Sugars | 2 g | — | |
| Vitamin A (as retinol acetate) | 70 mcg | — | |
| Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid) | 55 mg | — | |
| Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) | 2.5 mcg | — | |
| Vitamin E (as d-alpha tocopheryl acetate | 3.4 mg | — | |
| Zinc (as zinc gluconate ) | 0.7 mg | — | |
| Black Elderberry Fruit Extract | 45 mg | — |
FDA rules (21 CFR 101.36) require the amount of each dietary ingredient per serving unless hidden in a listed “proprietary blend” (legal, but a transparency yellow flag). A label stating no amount at all is non-compliant — a checkable red flag. This panel states amounts; the open question is whether those listed amounts are independently verified and how they compare with relevant research.
vision:google/gemini-flash-1.5 Amounts are shown as listed panel data, not independently lab-tested contents.
Every check we ran
Confirmed evidence
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
Label #303436 “Daily Immune Support with Real Elderberry Natural Berry Flavor” (Zarbee's), entered 2023-12-14, with the full Supplement Facts on file — see the panel below. Company on file: Distributor — Zarbee's Inc., Draper, UT.
The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.
USPTO lists Zarbee's, Inc. (CORPORATION) in DELAWARE, USA for the exact brand wordmark. This identifies the USPTO mark owner or applicant; it does not by itself prove who manufactures or sells this product.
Written reviews grew from 1496 to 1497 across 2026-03-06 – 2026-07-11 with no single manufactured spike (largest 30-day gain ~7).
Documented concerns
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
No contradictions or product-specific cautions were found at this check depth.
Unresolved public record
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
We read the full Supplement Facts panel from the listing-image panel (below), but the label doesn’t state a serving weight, so the arithmetic can’t run. A gap in the label’s information, not evidence of a problem.
Published sources describe how zinc have been studied. This is ingredient context only; the record does not establish that this product delivers the studied dose or outcome. Sources: NIH ODS — Zinc fact sheet, PubMed search: zinc supplementation trial.
Brand-level context only, not a finding about this product. Zarbee's Naturals Inc. recalled a different or not-exactly-bound product on 2015-09-21: “Some units of each lot may contain contaminants (elevated aerobic plate count) and do not meet acceptable visual appearance standards for the product.” (status: Terminated). The recalled product was: “Baby Omega 3 Dietary supplement (in liquid form), 15 ml and 14 ml in glass bottle with dropper dispenser.” — not necessarily the product on this page. Verify at FDA’s recall database.
The paid catalog links this exact item to a parent listing. Review counts on public product pages may be shared across sizes, flavors, or other variants, so the count history is listing context — not evidence that reviewers received or tested this exact variant.
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 1,489 on 2026-01-27 to 1,497 on 2026-07-11 (net +8). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
Open Food Facts resolves 898115002749 to "" (brand not supplied), but that record lacks enough exact brand/product detail to confirm or contradict this listing.
What to ask and check
Check for yourself — no one’s permission needed
Compare the panel on the bottle in your hand to the one shown in this record.
Ours was read from listing photos and can contain reading errors. The physical label is the source of truth — if they disagree, tell us and we’ll correct the record.
Scan the barcode on the package and confirm it reads 898115002749.
A mismatch between the barcode on the box and the one on the listing is worth pausing over — it can indicate a different variant, a repack, or a counterfeit.
Check the lot number and expiry on the bottle against any COA you’re given.
A certificate that doesn’t name your lot doesn’t describe what you’re holding.
These are the open questions on this specific record — not a warning about the product, and not a suggestion to buy or avoid it. Getting them answered is how you decide for yourself.
What the listing promises — claim by claim
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Benefit claim “Zarbee’s Elderberry Gummies for Kids, Immune Support Supplement with Vitamins A, C, D3, E, & Zinc…” | Partly supported We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research | Published research exists for ingredients in this formula — see Related research below. Whether this product’s doses match those studies could not be confirmed. |
“No evidence located” does not mean a claim is false — it means the seller has not put evidence proportionate to the claim on the public record, and we could not find any. Absence of proof is not proof of absence.
This label vs. the doses studied
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Zinc (as zinc gluconate ) | shaded = doses used in studies (8 mg–40 mg) · bar = this label | 0.7 mg — below the studied range |
Matching a studied dose does not mean the product works, and missing it does not mean it fails — it shows whether the label and the research are talking about the same amounts. Not a recommendation to take any amount.
Documented cautions
Statements from published sources about these ingredients — not advice about this product, and not a complete safety review. Anyone taking medication should talk to a pharmacist or clinician.
