Supplement label checks for Backbarrow, Cumbria
A written review of your supplement label against UK labelling rules that apply in England, for brands in Backbarrow and across Cumbria.
What the check covers for Backbarrow 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. It’s a practical review, not 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.

Backbarrow questions
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We can check for both. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, 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 check the label for each market.
How quickly do you review a label?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for Cumbria enforce labelling law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
Who checks supplement labels in Cumbria?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Cumbria, overseen nationally by the Food Standards Agency. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Do I need to be based in Backbarrow to order?
No. We take orders online from anywhere in the UK, so your location doesn’t matter. Backbarrow orders go by tracked courier to LA12.
