What the check covers for Harcombe 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. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, including ones from other printers. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Questions from Harcombe brands
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Harcombe?
Harcombe is in England, so the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003 apply, together with the general food information rules. Health claims have to come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
Do I need to be based in Harcombe to order?
No. We take orders online from anywhere in the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Harcombe orders go out by tracked courier to EX10.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We check against both sets of rules. 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.
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Yes. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Harcombe, so you can feel the materials and finishes before you order.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for Devon enforce labelling law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
