Rules in Northern Ireland
Label rules that apply in Newcastle
Supplements sold from Newcastle must meet the Food Supplements (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2003, regulated nationally by the Food Standards Agency in Northern Ireland. Locally, food labelling is enforced by council trading standards or environmental health staff for Down.
Under the Windsor Framework, Northern Ireland follows EU food law. Health claims must come from the EU register, and the business address on the label must be in Northern Ireland or the EU.
A good first step is our label requirements checklist, and then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

What the check covers for Newcastle brands
Send your artwork or draft copy. We review it against the Food Supplements (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2003, the food information rules and the EU nutrition and health claims register, and send back a written report with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, not just our own. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.
Newcastle is about 12 miles east of Newry, in Down. For Newcastle, delivery is usually two working days after dispatch. We print for brands right across the region, from Newcastle to Belfast (about 26 miles away), all on the same terms.

Common questions in Newcastle
Do you send samples?
Yes, we can. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Newcastle, showing our materials and finishes.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for Down enforce labelling law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Newcastle?
Newcastle is in Northern Ireland, so the Food Supplements (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2003 cover your label, alongside the general food information rules. Health claims have to come from the EU nutrition and health claims register.
Can you check a label that’s already printed?
We can still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you what must change now and what can wait for the next run.
What does the report look like?
A written, point-by-point report, with each item marked as fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
