Rules in England
Labelling law for supplements from Portway
Products you sell from Portway must meet the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003, regulated nationally by the Food Standards Agency. In Dorset, food labelling is enforced by the local authority’s trading standards or environmental health officers.
The same label can be sold in Scotland and Wales, since the supplement rules are the same across Great Britain.
Start with our label requirements checklist, and then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

What the check covers for Portway 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. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, including ones from other printers.

Common questions in Portway
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.
How quickly do you review a label?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
What do I get back?
A written report, with every point marked fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
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 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.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Dorset enforce labelling law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
