Label & nutrition review
Food Label Review & Nutrition Calculations
Your labels checked against UK labelling law before an officer, a customer or a complaint finds the problem.
Who it's for
Food producers, bakeries, packers, wholesalers and retailers already selling products — prepacked, PPDS, or loose goods supplied to other businesses with a label on the crate or tray.
Coverage
Based in Birmingham with site visits across Birmingham and the West Midlands. Label work is done remotely, so I can help food businesses anywhere in the UK.
Scope
What's checked
- Product name and legal descriptions
- Ingredients list order and wording
- The 14 allergens emphasised correctly

What you get
A written report with the corrected label wording for each product, nutrition figures if ordered, and a list of things to fix before printing.
From experience
Common problems I find
- C01Allergens missing because a supplier spec changed — for example barley in a malted flour or topping
- C02Out-of-date or wrong ingredient specifications
- C03Labels not updated after a recipe change
- C04Descriptions that aren't legally allowed
