Rules in England
Supplement labelling rules for Highsted
Supplements sold from Highsted must meet the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003, overseen by the Food Standards Agency. In Kent, food labelling is enforced by the local authority’s trading standards or environmental health officers for Kent.
One label works across England, Scotland and Wales, since the supplement rules are the same across Great Britain.
A good first step is our label requirements checklist, then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.
What we check
- Supplement statements
- %NRV and units
- Health claims
- Allergens

What the check covers for Highsted 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. 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.

FAQs for Highsted
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. Let us know where your products go and we’ll cover both.
Can you check a label that’s already printed?
We can still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you what must change now and what can wait for the next run.
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Yes. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Highsted address, showing our materials and finishes before you order.
Do you only work with Highsted businesses?
No. We take orders online from anywhere in the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Highsted orders go out by tracked courier to ME9.
How long does a check take?
We’ll tell you the turnaround when you send your artwork.
