Check your supplement label: Fothergill brands
Send us your label and we’ll tell you, in writing, what must change before it goes on sale from Fothergill.
What the check covers for Fothergill 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. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, not just our own. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Fothergill questions
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 be in NI or the EU. Let us know where your products go and we’ll check the label for each market.
Who enforces food labelling in Cumbria?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Cumbria, overseen nationally by the Food Standards Agency. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
What if my labels are already printed?
We’ll still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you which are urgent and which can wait for your next print run.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Fothergill?
Fothergill is in England, so the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003 cover your label, as well as the general food information rules. Health claims must come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
How quickly do you review a label?
We’ll tell you the turnaround when you send your artwork, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
