No text over the image
Meta advises against text over the image — calls to action, promo codes, temporary price drops. Text printed on the product itself is fine.

How we measure it
We run optical character recognition over the image, then check what surrounds each word. Words sitting on the plain background connected to the image edges count as added text; words printed on the product or its packaging don't. Badges drawn on coloured shapes and faint watermarks aren't reliably detected yet.
