Check your supplement label: Shap brands
Check your supplement label before Trading Standards, a retailer or Amazon does. Reviews for Shap brands, done online.
What the check covers for Shap 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. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, including ones from other printers.

FAQs for Shap
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for Cumbria enforce labelling law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
Who enforces food labelling in Cumbria?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Cumbria, overseen nationally by the Food Standards Agency. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We can check for both. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, so health claims must be on the EU register and the address must be in NI or the EU. Tell us where you sell and we’ll cover both.
Do you only work with Shap businesses?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Shap orders go out by tracked delivery to CA10.
What if my labels are already printed?
We’ll still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you which are urgent and which can wait for your next print run.
