Questions from Sherford 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.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Plymouth enforce the law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
Who enforces food labelling in Plymouth?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Plymouth, with national oversight from the Food Standards Agency. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Can you check a label that’s already printed?
We can still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you which are urgent and which can wait for your next print run.
How long does a check take?
We’ll tell you the turnaround when you send your artwork, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
What the check covers for Sherford 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. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.
