Check your supplement label before Trading Standards, a retailer or Amazon does. Reviews for Marcroes brands, done online.
What the check covers for Marcroes brands
Send your artwork or draft copy. We review it against the Food Supplements (Wales) 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. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.
