Environmental Health Officers from Pembrokeshire County Council identified multiple examples of non‑compliance during a routine inspection at CK’s Supermarket Ltd in Narberth on 24 July 2024.
Three products — including in‑store bakery breads and butchery items — were found to be incorrectly labelled, failing to declare allergens such as sesame seeds and sulphites in line with legal requirements.
The case was heard at Haverfordwest Magistrates Court on 30 September 2025. The company entered early guilty pleas and was fined £12,000 for each of the three offences, plus a £2,000 victim surcharge and £2,849.95 in costs.
Cllr Jacob Williams, Cabinet Member for Regulatory Services, said:
“Food allergen labelling is a legal requirement to protect consumers, especially those with serious allergies, for whom even small quantities of a particular ingredient can be lethal. We welcome the company’s early guilty pleas and the court’s sentence, and hope the level of fines imposed remind all food businesses how important it is to ensure labelling is accurate and legally compliant.”
CK Foodstores, founded in 1988 by managing director Christopher Kiley, operates more than 30 supermarkets across Carmarthenshire, Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion, many branded as Nisa Local.
