Southwark questions
What if my labels are 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.
Do I need to be based in Southwark to order?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Southwark orders go by tracked courier to SE1.
Who enforces food labelling in Greater London?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Greater London, with national oversight from the Food Standards Agency. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Southwark?
Southwark is in England, so the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003 cover your label, alongside the general food information rules. Health claims must come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
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.
