Cotes questions
What if my labels are already printed?
We’ll 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 check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We check against both sets of rules. 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 cover both.
What does the report look like?
A written report, with each item marked as fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
How quickly do you review a label?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Staffordshire enforce the law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
What the check covers for Cotes 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. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Rules in England
Supplement labelling rules for Cotes
Any food supplement sold from Cotes must meet the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003, regulated nationally by the Food Standards Agency. Locally, food labelling is enforced by the local authority’s trading standards or environmental health officers for Staffordshire.
You can sell the same label in Scotland and Wales, since the supplement rules are the same across Great Britain.
