Food Supplements
Selling food supplements in Great Britain means treating them as food, not medicine. They fall under the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003 and related rules, overseen by the Food Standards Agency, with permitted vitamins and minerals, strict labelling, and a hard line against medicinal claims.
At Taylored Consultancy Ltd, we make food supplement compliance clear and stress-free. From ingredients and permitted forms to labelling and claims, we make sure your products meet UK requirements - without straying into medicines territory.
Clearing the path to market -
regulatory and quality expertise that gets your food supplements compliant, safe, and ready for market.
We check your formulation against the GB permitted vitamins and minerals (and their approved forms), maximum levels, and any novel food considerations.
If an ingredient wasn't widely consumed before 1997, it may need authorisation under the GB novel foods regime. We help you assess and navigate this.
We review your labelling against UK food information rules - active ingredient declarations, recommended daily dose, warnings and the "not a substitute for a varied diet" statement.
We check your claims against the GB Nutrition and Health Claims Register to keep them compliant - and ensure you avoid prohibited medicinal claims.
We can act as your UK Food Business Operator. Absorbing your products into our quality management system (QMS) we ensure your products are compliant and remain compliant on the market.
We review your products end-to-end and identify anything that needs fixing before launch.
We help you put a robust HACCP-based food safety system in place, as required under food hygiene law.
We help you prepare for ISO 22000 or GFSI-recognised certification (BRCGS, FSSC 22000, IFS), often required by retailers and contract manufacturers.
Regulations can feel like a headache, but they don't have to be. We make sure you're covered, compliant, and ready to sell - without unnecessary delays or legal pitfalls.
