Questions from Arkesden brands

How long does a check take?

We’ll tell you the turnaround when you send your artwork.

Who checks supplement labels in Essex?

Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Essex, overseen nationally by the Food Standards Agency. If you want assured advice, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.

Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?

No. Trading Standards for Essex enforce the law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.

Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?

We can check for both. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, so health claims must be on the EU register and the address must be in NI or the EU. Tell us where you sell and we’ll check the label for each market.

What does the report look like?

A written, point-by-point report, with each item marked fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.

What the check covers for Arkesden brands

Send your artwork or draft copy. We review it against the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003, the food information rules and the GB nutrition and health claims register, and send back a written report with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, including ones from other printers. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.
