Rules in England

Supplement labelling rules for Merley

Any food supplement sold from Merley must meet the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003, under the oversight of the Food Standards Agency. In Dorset, food labelling is enforced by council trading standards or environmental health staff.

You can sell the same label in Scotland and Wales, as Great Britain shares one set of supplement rules.

Start with our label requirements checklist, and then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

What the check covers for Merley 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. It’s a practical review, not 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, including ones from other printers.

Merley questions

What do I get back?

A written, point-by-point report, with each item marked as fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.

What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?

We can check for both. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, so health claims must be on the EU register and the address must be in NI or the EU. Let us know where your products go and we’ll check the label for each market.

Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Merley?

Merley 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.

Who checks supplement labels in Dorset?

Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Dorset, overseen nationally by the Food Standards Agency. If you want assured advice, consider a Primary Authority partnership with a council.

Do you send samples?

Yes, we can. Request a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Merley, so you can feel the materials and finishes before you order.
