What the check covers for Birkby 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, not just our own. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Common questions in Birkby
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for North Yorkshire enforce labelling law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Birkby?
Birkby is in England, so the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003 apply, as well as the general food information rules. Health claims have to come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
Who enforces food labelling in North Yorkshire?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for North Yorkshire, overseen nationally by the Food Standards Agency. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
What do I get back?
A written, point-by-point report, with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We check against both sets of rules. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, so health claims must be on the EU register and the address must work for that market. Tell us where you sell and we’ll check the label for each market.
