Shortstown questions
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for Bedford Borough enforce labelling law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
Do you send samples?
Yes. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Shortstown, showing our materials and finishes.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Shortstown?
Shortstown is in England, so the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003 apply, as well as the general food information rules. Health claims have to come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We can check for both. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, 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 cover both.
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 the check covers for Shortstown 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. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, including ones from other printers.
