Supplement labelling rules for Ardchattan
Any food supplement sold from Ardchattan 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 Argyll and Bute.
Scotland has its own food regulator, but the supplement labelling rules match England and Wales, so one label works across Great Britain.

What the check covers for Ardchattan 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. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, not just our own. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Common questions in Ardchattan
How long does a check take?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Argyll and Bute enforce labelling law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
Do you only work with Ardchattan businesses?
No. We take orders online from anywhere in the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Ardchattan orders go by tracked delivery to PA37.
Who enforces food labelling in Argyll and Bute?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Argyll and Bute, with national oversight from Food Standards Scotland. If you want assured advice, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We check against both sets of rules. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, so claims must come from the EU register and the address must work for that market. Tell us where you sell and we’ll cover both.
