Common questions in Downs
Who enforces food labelling in Cardiff?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Cardiff, with national oversight from the Food Standards Agency in Wales. If you want assured advice, consider a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Yes. Request a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Downs, so you can feel the materials and finishes before you order.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Downs?
Downs is in Wales, so the Food Supplements (Wales) Regulations 2003 apply, as well as the general food information rules. Health claims must come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
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 cover both.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Cardiff enforce the law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
