Check your supplement label: Harwich brands
A written review of your supplement label against the rules that apply in England, for brands in Harwich and across Essex.
What the check covers for Harwich 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. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, including ones from other printers.

Questions from Harwich brands
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 be in NI or the EU. Tell us where you sell and we’ll check the label for each market.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for Essex enforce the law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
Do you send samples?
Yes. Request a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Harwich address, so you can feel the materials and finishes before you order.
Who checks supplement labels in Essex?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Essex, overseen nationally by the Food Standards Agency. For advice councils must respect, consider a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Can you check a label that’s already printed?
We’ll still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you what must change now and what can wait for the next run.
