Common questions in Harpenden
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for Hertfordshire enforce labelling law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Harpenden?
Harpenden is in England, so the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003 apply, alongside the general food information rules. Health claims have to come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
Do you send samples?
Yes, we can. Request a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Harpenden, showing our materials and finishes.
Can you check a label that’s already printed?
We can still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you which are urgent and which can wait for your next print run.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
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 work for that market. Tell us where you sell and we’ll check the label for each market.
