Rules in England
Labelling law for supplements from Houghton

The same label can be sold in Scotland and Wales, as Great Britain shares one set of supplement rules.

What the check covers for Houghton 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. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.
