Label rules that apply in Bearsden
Any food supplement sold from Bearsden must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, regulated nationally by Food Standards Scotland. In East Dunbartonshire, food labelling is enforced by the council’s trading standards or environmental health team for East Dunbartonshire.
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, then review your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

What the check covers for Bearsden 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, including ones from other printers. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.
