Questions from Papcastle brands
Who enforces food labelling in Cumbria?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Cumbria, overseen nationally by the Food Standards Agency. If you want assured advice, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We check against both sets of rules. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, 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.
Do you send samples?
Yes, we can. Request a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Papcastle, showing our materials and finishes before you order.
How long does a check take?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
What does the report look like?
A written report, with each item marked fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
What the check covers for Papcastle 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. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, not just our own.
