Check your supplement label before Trading Standards, a retailer or Amazon does. Reviews for Balfour brands, done online.
What the check covers for Balfour 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. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, 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 Balfour
Can you check a label that’s already printed?
We can still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you what must change now and what can wait for the next run.
Do I need to be based in Balfour to order?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Balfour deliveries go by tracked delivery to KW17.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for the Orkney Islands enforce labelling law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We can check for both. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, so health claims must be on the EU register and the address must work for that market. Tell us where you sell and we’ll check the label for each market.
Who checks supplement labels in the Orkney Islands?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for the Orkney Islands, overseen nationally by Food Standards Scotland. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
