Rules in England
Supplement labelling rules for Ripley
Any food supplement sold from Ripley must meet the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003, regulated nationally by the Food Standards Agency. Locally, food labelling is enforced by the local authority’s trading standards or environmental health officers for Dorset.
One label works across England, Scotland and Wales, as Great Britain shares one set of supplement rules.
A good first step is our label requirements checklist, then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

What the check covers for Ripley brands
Send your artwork or draft copy. We review it against the Food Supplements (England) 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. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Ripley questions
What does the report look like?
A written report, with each item marked fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for Dorset enforce labelling law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
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.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Ripley?
Ripley is in England, so the Food Supplements (England) 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 my labels are 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.
