Supplement label checks for Shelf, Calderdale
A written review of your supplement label against the rules that apply in England, for businesses in Shelf and across Calderdale.
What the check covers for Shelf 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. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, not just our own. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Common questions in Shelf
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
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 work for that market. Tell us where you sell and we’ll check the label for each market.
How long does a check take?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Shelf?
Shelf is in England, so the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003 apply, alongside the general food information rules. Health claims must come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for Calderdale enforce labelling law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
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.
