Supplement label compliance check in Watchgate
A written review of your supplement label against the rules that apply in England, for companies in Watchgate and across Cumbria.
Common questions in Watchgate
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We can check for both. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, so claims must come from the EU register and the address must be in NI or the EU. Tell us where you sell and we’ll cover both.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Watchgate?
Watchgate is in England, so the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003 cover your label, together with the general food information rules. Health claims have to come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
How quickly do you review a label?
We’ll tell you the turnaround when you send your artwork.
Do I need to be based in Watchgate to order?
No. We take orders online from anywhere in the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Watchgate deliveries go by tracked courier to LA8.
What if my labels are already printed?
We can still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you what must change now and what can wait for the next run.
What the check covers for Watchgate 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. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, including ones from other printers. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.
