FAQs for Thornes
Who enforces food labelling in Walsall?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Walsall, overseen nationally by the Food Standards Agency. If you want assured advice, consider 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, we can. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Thornes address, showing our materials and finishes before you order.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Walsall 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 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.
What the check covers for Thornes 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. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, including ones from other printers.
