TikTok Shop policy update: Narrowed the weight management content prohibition from a broad ban…
- Narrowed the weight management content prohibition from a broad ban on all weight management product promotion to a targeted ban on specifically 'high-risk' weight loss or muscle gain claims, explicitly permitting general, low-risk content directed at adult (18+) audiences.
- Added a Sports and Fitness Equipment exemption, allowing before-and-after body imagery when paired with exercise equipment even if it depicts weight or physique changes.
- Expanded the prohibited content list to include new high-risk categories: quantified/timeline promises (e.g., 'lose 10 lbs in a week'), steroid-equivalency claims, and content instructing product misuse (e.g., off-label stacking or overdosing).
- Removed the blanket prohibition on personal testimonials about weight loss, replacing it with a narrower ban only on testimonials crediting a product with dramatic weight loss or muscle gain, giving creators more latitude for moderate claims.
