Common questions in Blackwood
What does the report look like?
A written report, with each item marked as fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for Caerphilly enforce labelling law; we give an independent practical check 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 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.
How long does a check take?
We’ll tell you the turnaround when you send your artwork, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
Who enforces food labelling in Caerphilly?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Caerphilly, overseen nationally by the Food Standards Agency in Wales. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
