Rules in Wales
Label rules that apply in Draethen
Any food supplement sold from Draethen must meet the Food Supplements (Wales) Regulations 2003, regulated nationally by the Food Standards Agency in Wales. In Newport, food labelling is enforced by the council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Newport.
Welsh-language text is optional on supplement labels. If you add it, both languages must be accurate and the mandatory text must still meet the 1.2 mm minimum x-height.
A good first step is our label requirements checklist, and then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

What the check covers for Draethen brands
Send your artwork or draft copy. We review it against the Food Supplements (Wales) 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. 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.

Draethen questions
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We check against both sets of rules. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, so health claims must be on the EU register and the address must be in NI or the EU. Tell us where you sell and we’ll cover both.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Newport enforce labelling law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
What do I get back?
A written report, with each item marked fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
Do I need to be based in Draethen to order?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Draethen orders go by tracked delivery to NP10.
Who checks supplement labels in Newport?
