USANA Influencer Marketing Database


A 2021 TINA.org investigation found that numerous USANA-sponsored athletes advertise company products on their social media accounts without clearly and conspicuously disclosing their material connection to the company in violation of FTC law. TINA.org has collected 128 examples of such deceptive social media posts across more than 25 USANA-sponsored athletes.

Examples include posts that completely lack disclosure, posts that bury the disclosure in a place that is unlikely to be seen (in these cases, TINA.org also captured the posts on a mobile device to show how the disclosures are not generally visible), and posts that use unclear language in a failed attempt to disclose the material relationship.
