What the check covers for Metcombe 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. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, not just our own.

Questions from Metcombe brands
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We can check for both. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, so claims must come from the EU register and the address must work for that market. Let us know where your products go and we’ll check the label for each market.
What does the report look like?
A written report, with each item marked fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Devon enforce the law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
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.
How quickly do you review a label?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
