What address should a UK drinks producer include on product labels—their own, the distributor's, or both?
For UK-produced products sold domestically, you must include a UK address for consumer complaints, but you don't need to include your distributor's address on the label.
**Key points:**
- **UK address requirement** — UK law requires a UK address on labels so consumers have a point of contact for complaints. This is a legal necessity post-Brexit (previously EU addresses were acceptable). - **Distributor address not required** — While your distributor may request their address appear on labels, it's not a legal requirement. Members advised against including it, as it creates operational friction if you ever change distributors. - **Market-specific rules** — Some markets (particularly outside the UK) have different requirements, such as "imported and distributed by" statements, sometimes requiring stickers. Check legislation for your specific sales territories.
