Supplement label checks for Dovenby, Cumbria
Send us your label and we’ll tell you, in writing, what must change before it goes on sale from Dovenby.
Questions from Dovenby brands
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Cumbria enforce labelling law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We can check for both. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, so claims must come from 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.
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Yes. Request a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Dovenby, showing our materials and finishes before you order.
What do I get back?
A written report, with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
What if my labels are 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.
What the check covers for Dovenby 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. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, not just our own.
