Check your supplement label: Downe brands
A written review of your supplement label against the rules that apply in England, for companies in Downe and across Greater London.
What the check covers for Downe 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. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Rules in England
Supplement labelling rules for Downe
Any food supplement sold from Downe must meet the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003, regulated nationally by the Food Standards Agency. In Greater London, food labelling is enforced by the local authority’s trading standards or environmental health officers for Greater London.
You can sell the same label in Scotland and Wales, since the supplement rules are the same across Great Britain.
A good first step is our label requirements checklist, and then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

Questions from Downe brands
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Downe?
Downe 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.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for Greater London enforce the law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
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 does the report look like?
A written, point-by-point report, with every point marked fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Yes, we can. Request a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Downe, showing our materials and finishes.
