What the check covers for Pen-y-lan brands

We review it against the Food Supplements (Wales) 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. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, including ones from other printers. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Pen-y-lan questions
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We can check for both. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, so claims must come from the EU register and the address must be in NI or the EU. Let us know where your products go and we’ll cover both.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Newport enforce labelling law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
Do I need to be based in Pen-y-lan to order?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Pen-y-lan orders go by tracked delivery to NP10.
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.
Who checks supplement labels in Newport?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Newport, overseen nationally by the Food Standards Agency in Wales. For advice councils must respect, consider a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
