Sprat's Down questions
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
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 work for that market. Let us know where your products go and we’ll check the label for each market.
Can you check a label that’s already printed?
We’ll still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you what must change now and what can wait for the next run.
Do I need to be based in Sprat's Down to order?
No. We take orders online from anywhere in the UK, so your location doesn’t matter. Sprat's Down orders go out by tracked courier to SO45.
What do I get back?
A written report, with every point marked fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
Who enforces food labelling in Hampshire?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Hampshire, overseen nationally by the Food Standards Agency. If you want assured advice, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
What the check covers for Sprat's Down 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. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, including ones from other printers.
