Check your supplement label: Cowes brands
Send us your label and we’ll tell you, in writing, what must change before it goes on sale from Cowes.
Common questions in Cowes
What do I get back?
A written, point-by-point report, with every point marked fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
Can you check a label that’s 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.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
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.
How quickly do you review a label?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
Do you send samples?
Yes. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Cowes, showing our materials and finishes before you order.
What the check covers for Cowes brands
Send your artwork or draft copy. We review it against the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003, the food information rules and the GB nutrition and health claims register, and send back a written report with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix. 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.

Labelling law for supplements from Cowes

You can sell the same label in Scotland and Wales, since the supplement rules are the same across Great Britain.
