We take reasonable steps to ensure the information displayed on our website is clear, accurate and regularly reviewed.
However, manufacturers and suppliers may occasionally change ingredients, recipes, packaging, product specifications, production processes or sourcing arrangements without notifying us in advance.
Where material inaccuracies are identified, we will take appropriate steps to correct the relevant product information.
Customers should review the labelling on products received and contact us if an important discrepancy is identified.
Product Images, Packaging and Presentation
Product photographs and illustrations are provided to help customers identify and understand the goods offered for sale.
Actual packaging, colours, presentation, labelling and appearance may occasionally differ from website images.
Photographs featuring prepared meals, garnishes, serving dishes, utensils or accompanying ingredients may be illustrative serving suggestions.
Such additional items are not included unless expressly stated in the product description.
Customers should refer to the product name, description, pack quantity, weight and specifications when making purchasing decisions.
Nothing in this section excludes our responsibility where goods supplied are materially different from their description.
Product Weights, Pack Sizes and Pricing
Products may be sold individually, by weight, by volume, in multipacks, cases or other specified quantities.
The applicable selling unit, pack quantity and product size are identified in the relevant product listing.
Where supplementary unit prices are displayed, values may be rounded where permitted by applicable law.
We endeavour to ensure that product prices, descriptions and specifications are accurate.

Ingredients, Allergens and Food Safety
Customers with food allergies, intolerances, coeliac disease or other significant dietary requirements should carefully review ingredient and allergen information before purchasing a product.
If allergen information is missing, unclear or inconsistent, please contact Nicol Retailer before placing your order.
Nicol Retailer Limited aims to ensure that mandatory allergen information is available before purchase and at delivery in accordance with applicable UK food information requirements.
Manufacturers may change product ingredients, formulations, processing methods, manufacturing facilities or precautionary allergen statements.
Customers should always check the ingredient list and allergen declarations on the packaging of the product received before consumption.
If a delivered product contains unexpected ingredients or allergen warnings, do not consume it and contact our customer service team promptly.
Products should not be assumed to be free from an allergen merely because that allergen is not mentioned in a marketing description.
