Supplement label checks for Shelf, Bridgend
Send us your label and we’ll tell you, in writing, what must change before it goes on sale from Shelf.
What the check covers for Shelf brands
Send your artwork or draft copy. We review it against the Food Supplements (Wales) 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. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, not just our own. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Questions from Shelf brands
What does the report look like?
A written, point-by-point report, with each item marked as fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
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 be in NI or the EU. Tell us where you sell and we’ll cover both.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for Bridgend enforce the law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
How long does a check take?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Yes. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Shelf address, showing our materials and finishes.
