Regulatory Environment
Food labelling still runs on the UK Food Information Regulations 2014, which implement the retained EU Food Information to Consumers rules on nutrition, allergen, and origin declarations, and on Natasha's Law, in force since 1 October 2021, which requires full ingredient lists with the 14 major allergens emphasised on any food prepacked for direct sale, such as sandwiches and salads packed and sold from the same premises. On product marking, the government announced on 1 August 2023 that it would indefinitely extend recognition of the CE mark in Great Britain for a wide range of goods, so most brands can still use CE rather than switching to UKCA. Packaging carries real costs now: the Plastic Packaging Tax, charged by HMRC on packaging with under 30% recycled plastic content, rose to roughly £228 per tonne for 2026-27 (up from £223.69 in 2025-26), and Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging (pEPR) introduced its first base fees in 2025-26 (£423 per tonne for plastic, £192 per tonne for glass), with fees from 2026-27 onward adjusted by a red-amber-green recyclability rating. A UK-wide Deposit Return Scheme for single-use drinks containers is due to launch on 1 October 2027. Drinks brands also have to reflect the August 2023 alcohol duty reform, which replaced category-specific rules with a single ABV-based tax structure, alongside GHS/CLP hazard labelling for any chemical, cleaning, or cosmetic product that needs it.
Key Industries
Food & drink is the UK's largest manufacturing sector by turnover (worth roughly £37bn and employing over 474,000 people, according to the Food and Drink Federation), and it drives constant repackaging and rebranding work, from London's Innocent Drinks (juices and smoothies) to premium mixers like Fever-Tree (Hammersmith, London) and craft distillers such as Sipsmith (Chiswick, London). Beauty and skincare cluster in London's Covent Garden 'beauty quarter,' home to Deciem/The Ordinary and Charlotte Tilbury. DTC fitness and nutrition brands have grown outside the capital: Gymshark is headquartered in Solihull near Birmingham, and Huel in Tring, Hertfordshire. London remains the centre of gravity for luxury and premium brand design; Manchester and Bristol have growing independent design and food-and-drink scenes; and Edinburgh anchors Scotland's whisky and spirits packaging work.
