Supplement labelling rules for Downside
Any food supplement sold from Downside must meet the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003, regulated nationally by the Food Standards Agency. At a local level, food labelling is enforced by the local authority’s trading standards or environmental health officers for North Somerset.
One label works across England, Scotland and Wales, since the supplement rules are the same across Great Britain.

What the check covers for Downside 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. 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.

Common questions in Downside
Do you send samples?
Yes, we can. Request a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Downside, so you can feel the materials and finishes before you order.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Downside?
Downside is in England, so the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003 cover your label, alongside the general food information rules. Health claims have to come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
How long does a check take?
We’ll tell you the turnaround when you send your artwork.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for North Somerset 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. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, so health claims must be on the EU register and the address must be in NI or the EU. Let us know where your products go and we’ll check the label for each market.
