Elstow questions
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for Bedford Borough enforce the law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Yes. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Elstow address, showing our materials and finishes before you order.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Elstow?
Elstow is in England, so the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003 apply, as well as the general food information rules. Health claims have to come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
What if my labels are already printed?
We can still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you what must change now and what can wait for the next run.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We check against both sets of rules. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, so claims must come from the EU register and the address must work for that market. Let us know where your products go and we’ll cover both.
