What the check covers for Nova Scotia 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, not just our own. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.
