About Labelly
An independent educational resource dedicated to explaining UK food labelling systems.
Our Mission
Labelly is an independent educational resource providing clear, factual explanations of UK food labelling systems and how nutrition information is presented on food packaging. We aim to help people understand the mandatory elements of food labels, how to interpret the information displayed, and what regulatory frameworks govern food labelling in the United Kingdom.

- Provide personalised dietary advice
- Offer nutritional counselling or guidance
- Recommend specific products or food choices
- Diagnose health conditions or provide medical advice
- Offer coaching, consulting, or professional services
- Sell products, services, or digital content
- Collect personal information for marketing purposes
- Track user behaviour or preferences
Educational Philosophy
Labelly is built on the principle of transparency through education. We explain how UK food labelling works and what information manufacturers are required to display. Understanding this system allows individuals to compare products and make informed observations about nutritional composition. Our role is to explain the system, not to influence personal choices or outcomes.
No Commercial Interests
Labelly is an independent educational website with no commercial partnerships, affiliate arrangements, or financial incentives. We do not promote specific brands or products, and we do not benefit financially from directing users toward particular food companies or products. Our content is motivated solely by the aim of clear, factual education about UK food labelling.
Regulatory Compliance
Labelly's content is based on and complies with UK and EU food labelling regulations, including requirements for mandatory nutrition panels, traffic light labelling, ingredients lists, and label claims. While we strive to present accurate information, food labelling regulations can change. For the most current official regulations, consult UK food standards authorities.
