Questions from Shinfield brands
What does the report look like?
A written report, with each item marked as fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
Who enforces food labelling in Reading?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Reading, with national oversight from the Food Standards Agency. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
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 be in NI or the EU. Tell us where you sell and we’ll check the label for each market.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Reading enforce the law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
Do you send samples?
Yes, we can. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Shinfield address, so you can feel the materials and finishes before you order.
What the check covers for Shinfield 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. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, including ones from other printers. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.
