Check your supplement label: Belses brands
A written review of your supplement label against UK labelling rules that apply in Scotland, for brands in Belses and across Scottish Borders.
What the check covers for Belses 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. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, not just our own.

Questions from Belses brands
How quickly do you review a label?
We’ll tell you the turnaround when you send your artwork.
What does the report look like?
A written report, with each item marked as fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for the Scottish Borders enforce the law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
Who enforces food labelling in the Scottish Borders?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for the Scottish Borders, overseen nationally by Food Standards Scotland. For advice councils must respect, consider a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Do you only work with Belses businesses?
No. We take orders online from anywhere in the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Belses deliveries go out by tracked delivery to TD8.
