Check your supplement label: Freshwater brands
A written review of your supplement label against UK labelling rules that apply in England, for brands in Freshwater and across Isle of Wight.
What the check covers for Freshwater 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. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, not just our own.
