Questions from Joppa brands
How long does a check take?
We’ll tell you the turnaround when you send your artwork, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
What if my labels are 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.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Joppa?
Joppa is in Scotland, so the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003 apply, alongside the general food information rules. Health claims must come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We check against both sets of rules. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, 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.
Who checks supplement labels in South Ayrshire?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for South Ayrshire, with national oversight from Food Standards Scotland. For advice councils must respect, consider a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
What the check covers for Joppa 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, including ones from other printers.
