Supplement label compliance check in Mepal
Send us your label and we’ll tell you, in writing, what must change before it goes on sale from Mepal.
What the check covers for Mepal 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. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, including ones from other printers. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.
