Latest News - Prosecutions

West Sussex County Council’s Trading Standards service has successfully prosecuted LDN Noots Limited, trading as London Nootropics, for violating food safety regulations. The company has been ordered to pay a total penalty of £5,134.27 following a hearing at Crawley Magistrates Court on Friday 7 March.

London Nootropics, which sells adaptogenic coffee blends, was found to have breached the Nutrition and Health Claims Regulations 2007 and the Novel Foods Regulations 2018. The allegations involved the unapproved inclusion of CBD, deemed to be a novel food, as well as featuring unauthorised health and nutrition claims on product packaging.

Despite receiving a formal warning in November 2023, London Nootropics continued selling non-compliant food products through their website. Test purchases of their Zen Adaptogenic Coffee, Flow Adaptogenic Coffee and Mojo Adaptogenic Coffee all failed to meet regulatory standards.
