Questions from Elder Street brands
How long does a check take?
We’ll tell you the turnaround when you send your artwork, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
Who checks supplement labels in Essex?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Essex, overseen nationally by the Food Standards Agency. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Can you check a label that’s already printed?
We’ll still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you what must change now and what can wait for the next run.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for Essex enforce labelling law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Elder Street?
Elder Street 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.
What the check covers for Elder Street 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. 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.
