Supplement label checks for Shortgate, East Sussex
A written review of your supplement label against the rules that apply in England, for businesses in Shortgate and across East Sussex.
Rules in England
Labelling law for supplements from Shortgate
Products you sell from Shortgate 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 for East Sussex.
You can sell the same label in Scotland and Wales, since the supplement rules are the same across Great Britain.
A good first step is our label requirements checklist, then review your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

- Supplement statements
- %NRV and units

What the check covers for Shortgate 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. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, not just our own.

FAQs for Shortgate
Can you check a label that’s 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.
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.
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Yes. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Shortgate address, showing our materials and finishes.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We can check for both. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, so health claims must be on the EU register and the address must be in NI or the EU. Let us know where your products go and we’ll cover both.
Do you only work with Shortgate businesses?
No. We take orders online from anywhere in the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Shortgate orders go out by tracked delivery to BN8.
