Common questions in Ponthir
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Ponthir?
Ponthir is in Wales, so the Food Supplements (Wales) Regulations 2003 apply, as well as the general food information rules. Health claims have to come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
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 work for that market. Tell us where you sell and we’ll check the label for each market.
Can you check a label that’s already printed?
We can still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you what must change now and what can wait for the next run.
What does the report look like?
A written, point-by-point report, with each item marked fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
Who enforces food labelling in Newport?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Newport, with national oversight from the Food Standards Agency in Wales. For advice councils must respect, consider a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
