Rules in England

Label rules that apply in Stocking

Supplements sold from Stocking must meet the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003, under the oversight of the Food Standards Agency. In Herefordshire, food labelling is enforced by the council’s trading standards or environmental health team.

One label works across England, Scotland and Wales, since the supplement rules are the same across Great Britain.

Begin with our label requirements checklist, and then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

What the check covers for Stocking 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. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, not just our own.

Questions from Stocking brands

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 health claims must be on the EU register and the address must be in NI or the EU. Tell us where you sell and we’ll cover both.

Do I need to be based in Stocking to order?

No. We take orders online from anywhere in the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Stocking deliveries go out by tracked courier to HR1.

Who checks supplement labels in Herefordshire?

Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Herefordshire, overseen nationally by the Food Standards Agency. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.

What does the report look like?

A written report, with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.

Can I see a sample before ordering?

Yes. Request a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Stocking, so you can feel the materials and finishes before you order.
