FAQs for Balmedie
Do I need to be based in Balmedie to order?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Balmedie deliveries go out by tracked delivery to AB23.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Balmedie?
Balmedie is in Scotland, so the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003 apply, alongside the general food information rules. Health claims must come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
Who checks supplement labels in Aberdeen?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Aberdeen, overseen nationally by Food Standards Scotland. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
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 be in NI or the EU. Tell us where you sell and we’ll cover both.
Do you send samples?
Yes, we can. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Balmedie address, showing our materials and finishes before you order.
