How this guidance is produced · About this owner-affiliated preview

Find the main package details

GOV.UK lists the product function, Responsible Person name and address, net quantity, durability information, precautions, identification number and ingredients among required label information.

Some requirements have exceptions or depend on the product. Check the current official guidance rather than treating this short list as a complete compliance test.

Read the complete ingredient list

Compare the ingredient list on the physical packaging with the seller’s online description.

The European Commission’s CosIng database is informative, not an approval list. An entry alone does not establish the safety or legal status of a finished product.

Keep the exact version you reviewed

Product pages and packaging can change. Record when you viewed the listing and photograph the package information you received.

Do not treat a seller’s FAQ or certificate image as a substitute for the actual label and named source.
