I've below JSON LD data:

<script type="application/ld+json">

  "@context": "http://schema.org", 
  "@type": "NewsArticle", 
  "mainEntityOfPage": {
      "@type": "WebPage",
      "@id": "http://healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2017/01/25/dog-foods-contain-high-fluoride-levels.aspx"
  },
  "headline": "80 Percent of Tested Dog Foods Contain High Fluoride Levels", 
  "datePublished": "2017-01-25T12:00:00Z",

          "width": 600, 
          "height": 60 
      }
  }, 
  "image": { 
      "@type": "ImageObject", 
      "url": "http://media.mercola.com/themes/healthypets/images/healthypets-logo-responsive.png", 
      "width": 2000,
      "height": 800 
  }
}
</script>

Please see below error:

Google SDTT output

I get the error stating that

Missing '}' or object member name.

Solution

  • Remove , from the last key of author object

    "author": { 
  "@type": "Person", 
  "name": "Dr. Becker", 
},

    should be

    "author": { 
  "@type": "Person", 
  "name": "Dr. Becker"
},
