FAQs for Barlow
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Gateshead enforce labelling law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Barlow?
Barlow is in England, so the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003 cover your label, alongside the general food information rules. Health claims must come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
What if my labels are already printed?
We can still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you what must change now and what can wait for the next run.
Do you send samples?
Yes. Request a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Barlow address, so you can feel the materials and finishes before you order.
What do I get back?
A written report, with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
What the check covers for Barlow 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. 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.
