What the check covers for Ancrum brands
Send your artwork or draft copy. We review it against the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, the food information rules and the GB nutrition and health claims register, and send back a written report with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, including ones from other printers.

Common questions in Ancrum
How quickly do you review a label?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
Do I need to be based in Ancrum to order?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Ancrum orders go out by tracked courier to TD8.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for the Scottish Borders enforce the law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Ancrum?
Ancrum is in Scotland, so the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003 apply, as well as the general food information rules. Health claims must come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We can check for both. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, so claims must come from the EU register and the address must work for that market. Let us know where your products go and we’ll check the label for each market.

Label rules that apply in Ancrum
Supplements sold from Ancrum must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, overseen by Food Standards Scotland. At a local level, food labelling is enforced by the council’s trading standards or environmental health team for the Scottish Borders.
Scotland has its own food regulator, but the supplement labelling rules match England and Wales, so one label works across Great Britain.
A good first step is our label requirements checklist, and then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.
