FAQs for Birnam
Who enforces food labelling in Perth and Kinross?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Perth and Kinross, with national oversight from Food Standards Scotland. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Perth and Kinross enforce labelling law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
What if my labels are 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 you only work with Birnam businesses?
No. We take orders online from anywhere in the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Birnam orders go by tracked delivery to PH8.
What do I get back?
A written, point-by-point report, with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
What the check covers for Birnam 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. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, including ones from other printers.
