Supplement label checks for Cairston, Orkney Islands
A written review of your supplement label against UK labelling rules that apply in Scotland, for businesses in Cairston and across Orkney Islands.
What the check covers for Cairston 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.

Questions from Cairston brands
Do you only work with Cairston businesses?
No. We take orders online from anywhere in the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Cairston deliveries go by tracked delivery to KW16.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for the Orkney Islands enforce the law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We check against both sets of rules. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, so health claims must be on the EU register and the address must work for that market. Let us know where your products go and we’ll cover both.
How quickly do you review a label?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label.
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Yes, we can. Request a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Cairston address, showing our materials and finishes before you order.
Rules in Scotland
Supplement labelling rules for Cairston
Any food supplement sold from Cairston must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, under the oversight of Food Standards Scotland. Locally, food labelling is enforced by the council’s trading standards or environmental health team for the Orkney Islands.
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.
