Supplement label compliance check in Matching
A written review of your supplement label against the rules that apply in England, for companies in Matching and across Essex.
Questions from Matching brands
Do you only work with Matching businesses?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so your location doesn’t matter. Matching orders go out by tracked delivery to CM17.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Matching?
Matching is in England, so the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003 apply, alongside the general food information rules. Health claims must come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
Can you check a label that’s already printed?
We’ll still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you which are urgent and which can wait for your next print run.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for Essex enforce labelling law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
Who enforces food labelling in Essex?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Essex, with national oversight from the Food Standards Agency. If you want assured advice, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
What the check covers for Matching brands
Send your artwork or draft copy. We review it against the Food Supplements (England) 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. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, not just our own.
Matching is about 4 miles east of Harlow, in Essex. For Matching addresses, delivery is usually the next working day after dispatch. We deliver to 541 places across Essex, from the larger towns to small villages. We print for brands right across the region, from Matching to London (about 23 miles away), all at the same prices.
