Supplement label checks for Akeld, Northumberland
Check your supplement label before Trading Standards, a retailer or Amazon does. Reviews for Akeld brands, done online.
What the check covers for Akeld brands
We read your label line by line: the supplement statements, the nutrient table and %NRV maths, ingredients and allergens, claims, text size and traceability. You get a written report you can act on or pass to your designer. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, including ones from other printers.

Akeld questions
Can you check a label that’s already printed?
We’ll still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you which are urgent and which can wait for your next print run.
Who checks supplement labels in Northumberland?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Northumberland, overseen nationally by the Food Standards Agency. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Northumberland enforce the law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
Do you send samples?
Yes. Request a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Akeld address, showing our materials and finishes before you order.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We can check for both. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, so claims must come from the EU register and the address must be in NI or the EU. Tell us where you sell and we’ll cover both.
