Rules in England
Label rules that apply in Sunderland
Supplements sold from Sunderland must meet the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003, under the oversight of the Food Standards Agency. In Lancashire, food labelling is enforced by council trading standards or environmental health staff.
The same label can be sold in Scotland and Wales, since the supplement rules are the same across Great Britain.

What the check covers for Sunderland brands
Send your artwork or draft copy. We review it against the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003, the food information rules and the GB nutrition and health claims register, and send back a written report with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, including ones from other printers. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Questions from Sunderland brands
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for Lancashire enforce the law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
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. Tell us where you sell and we’ll check the label for each market.
Do you send samples?
Yes, we can. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Sunderland, so you can feel the materials and finishes.
What do I get back?
A written report, with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
How quickly do you review a label?
We’ll tell you the turnaround when you send your artwork.
