A written review of your supplement label against UK labelling rules that apply in Scotland, for companies in Burnmouth and across Scottish Borders.
Rules in Scotland
Label rules that apply in Burnmouth
Any food supplement sold from Burnmouth must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, under the oversight of Food Standards Scotland. In the Scottish Borders, food labelling is enforced by the local authority’s trading standards or environmental health officers for the Scottish Borders.
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, and then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

What the check covers for Burnmouth 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. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, not just our own. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.
Burnmouth is about 6 miles north-west of Berwick-upon-Tweed, in the Scottish Borders. Burnmouth businesses order from us online, and labels go out by tracked courier to TD14 and the surrounding area.

Burnmouth questions
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We can check for both. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, so claims must come from the EU register and the address must be in NI or the EU. Let us know where your products go and we’ll check the label for each market.
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, overseen nationally by Food Standards Scotland. If you want assured advice, consider a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
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.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Burnmouth?
Burnmouth is in Scotland, so the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003 cover your label, as well as the general food information rules. Health claims have to come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Yes, we can. Request a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Burnmouth address, showing our materials and finishes before you order.
