Supplement label checks for Porcupine, Cornwall
A written review of your supplement label against UK labelling rules that apply in England, for brands in Porcupine and across Cornwall.
What the check covers for Porcupine 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. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, not just our own.

Porcupine questions
What if my labels are already printed?
We’ll still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you what must change now and what can wait for the next run.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Porcupine?
Porcupine is in England, so the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003 cover your label, alongside the general food information rules. Health claims have to come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
Do you send samples?
Yes, we can. Request a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Porcupine address, showing our materials and finishes before you order.
How long does a check take?
We’ll tell you the turnaround when you send your artwork.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We can check for both. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, 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.
