Check your supplement label: Shop brands
A written review of your supplement label against UK labelling rules that apply in England, for brands in Shop and across Cornwall.
Questions from Shop brands
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.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Shop?
Shop is in England, so the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003 apply, together with the general food information rules. Health claims must come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Cornwall enforce the law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
Who checks supplement labels in Cornwall?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Cornwall, overseen nationally by the Food Standards Agency. For advice councils must respect, consider a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
How long does a check take?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
What the check covers for Shop 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. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, not just our own.
Shop is about 16 miles south-west of Bideford, in Cornwall. For Shop addresses, our courier normally delivers the next working day after dispatch. We print for businesses in 423 towns and villages across Cornwall. We print for brands right across the region, from Shop to Cardiff (about 71 miles away).

Rules in England
Label rules that apply in Shop
Supplements sold from Shop must meet the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003, under the oversight of the Food Standards Agency. At a local level, food labelling is enforced by council trading standards or environmental health staff.
You can sell the same label in Scotland and Wales, because the supplement rules match across Great Britain.
Start with our label requirements checklist, then review your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.
