FAQs for Hessay
Do I need to be based in Hessay to order?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Hessay deliveries go by tracked courier to YO26.
Who enforces food labelling in York?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for York, with national oversight from the Food Standards Agency. If you want assured advice, 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 which are urgent and which can wait for your next print run.
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 work for that market. Tell us where you sell and we’ll check the label for each market.
How long does a check take?
We’ll tell you the turnaround when you send your artwork.
What the check covers for Hessay 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. 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.
