What the check covers for Matchams brands

The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, not just our own. It’s a practical review, not legal advice.

Questions from Matchams brands
Who enforces food labelling in Hampshire?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Hampshire, overseen nationally by the Food Standards Agency. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
What does the report look like?
A written report, with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Matchams?
Matchams is in England, so the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003 cover your label, together with the general food information rules. Health claims have to come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
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 work for that market. Let us know where your products go and we’ll cover both.
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.
