What the check covers for Mellis 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. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, including ones from other printers.

Supplement labelling rules for Mellis
Supplements sold from Mellis must meet the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003, regulated nationally by the Food Standards Agency. Locally, food labelling is enforced by the local authority’s trading standards or environmental health officers.
You can sell the same label in Scotland and Wales, since the supplement rules are the same across Great Britain.
Start with our label requirements checklist, and then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

Common questions in Mellis
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Suffolk enforce labelling law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
Who enforces food labelling in Suffolk?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Suffolk, overseen nationally by the Food Standards Agency. For advice councils must respect, consider a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Do I need to be based in Mellis to order?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Mellis deliveries go out by tracked courier to IP23.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Mellis?
Mellis is in England, so the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003 cover your label, 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. 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.
