What the check covers for Downham 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. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, not just our own.

Downham questions
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Yes, we can. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Downham address, so you can feel the materials and finishes.
What do I get back?
A written, point-by-point report, with each item marked fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
How long does a check take?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We can check for both. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, so health claims must be on the EU register and the address must work for that market. Let us know where your products go and we’ll check the label for each market.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Downham?
Downham is in England, so the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003 cover your label, as well as the general food information rules. Health claims have to come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
