Rules in England
Label rules that apply in Newtown
Any food supplement sold from Newtown must meet the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003, under the oversight of the Food Standards Agency. In Northumberland, food labelling is enforced by the local authority’s trading standards or environmental health officers for Northumberland.
One label works across England, Scotland and Wales, because the supplement rules match across Great Britain.
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 Newtown 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. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, including ones from other printers. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.
