Supplement label checks for Bowden, Scottish Borders
Check your supplement label before Trading Standards, a retailer or Amazon does. Reviews for Bowden brands, done online.
What the check covers for Bowden brands
We read your label line by line: the supplement statements, the nutrient table and %NRV maths, ingredients and allergens, claims, text size and traceability. You get a written report you can act on or pass to your designer. 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, not just our own.

Questions from Bowden brands
Who checks supplement labels in the Scottish Borders?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for the Scottish Borders, with national oversight from Food Standards Scotland. If you want assured advice, consider a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Bowden?
Bowden 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.
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 I need to be based in Bowden to order?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Bowden orders go out by tracked delivery to TD6.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for the Scottish Borders enforce the law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
