Akeld questions
Who checks supplement labels in Northumberland?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Northumberland, with national oversight from the Food Standards Agency. If you want assured advice, consider a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
What’s the lead time for pouches to Akeld?
Printed pouches take longer than labels: we confirm the lead time with your quote, then delivery to Akeld is usually the next working day after dispatch.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Akeld?
Akeld 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.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We check against both sets of rules. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, so health claims must be on the EU register and the address must work for that market. Let us know where your products go and we’ll check the label for each market.
Do I need to be based in Akeld to order?
No. We take orders online from anywhere in the UK, so your location doesn’t matter. Akeld deliveries go out by tracked courier to NE71.
