Pen-marc questions
What do I get back?
A written report, with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
Can you check a label that’s already printed?
We can still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you which are urgent and which can wait for your next print run.
Do you only work with Pen-marc businesses?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so your location doesn’t matter. Pen-marc deliveries go out by tracked delivery to CF62.
Who checks supplement labels in the Vale of Glamorgan?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for the Vale of Glamorgan, with national oversight from the Food Standards Agency in Wales. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We can check for both. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, so claims must come from the EU register and the address must be in NI or the EU. Tell us where you sell and we’ll cover both.
