Downton questions
How long does a check take?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Downton?
Downton is in England, so the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003 apply, alongside the general food information rules. Health claims have to 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. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, 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.
What does the report look like?
A written report, with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
Do I need to be based in Downton to order?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Downton orders go by tracked courier to SO41.
