Questions from Crossways brands

Who checks supplement labels in Dorset?

Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Dorset, with national oversight from the Food Standards Agency. If you want assured advice, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.

Do you send samples?

Yes. Request a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Crossways address, so you can feel the materials and finishes before you order.

Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?

No. Trading Standards for Dorset enforce the law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.

Can you check a label that’s already printed?

We’ll still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you which are urgent and which can wait for your next print run.

Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Crossways?

Crossways is in England, so the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003 apply, together with the general food information rules. Health claims must come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.

What the check covers for Crossways 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. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, including ones from other printers.
