What the check covers for Startforth brands

FAQs for Startforth
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for County Durham enforce labelling law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We check against both sets of rules. 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.
How quickly do you review a label?
We’ll tell you the turnaround when you send your artwork, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Startforth?
Startforth is in England, so the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003 cover your label, alongside the general food information rules. Health claims have to come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
What do I get back?
A written report, with every point marked fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
