Supplement labelling rules for Y Ferwig
Supplements sold from Y Ferwig must meet the Food Supplements (Wales) Regulations 2003, under the oversight of the Food Standards Agency in Wales. In Ceredigion, food labelling is enforced by the council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Ceredigion.
Welsh-language text is optional on supplement labels. If you add it, both languages must be accurate and the mandatory text must still meet the 1.2 mm minimum x-height.
A good first step is our label requirements checklist, and then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

What the check covers for Y Ferwig brands
Send your artwork or draft copy. We review it against the Food Supplements (Wales) 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. 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, not just our own.

Y Ferwig questions
Who checks supplement labels in Ceredigion?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Ceredigion, overseen nationally by the Food Standards Agency in Wales. For advice councils must respect, consider a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
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 be in NI or the EU. Let us know where your products go and we’ll check the label for each market.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for Ceredigion enforce labelling law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
How long does a check take?
We’ll tell you the turnaround when you send your artwork.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Y Ferwig?
Y Ferwig is in Wales, so the Food Supplements (Wales) Regulations 2003 cover your label, together with the general food information rules. Health claims must come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
