FAQs for Charlestown
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Charlestown?
Charlestown is in Scotland, so the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003 apply, as well as the general food information rules. Health claims must 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 send it to you in Charlestown, so you can feel the materials and finishes.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We check against both sets of rules. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, so claims must come from the EU register and the address must be in NI or the EU. Tell us where you sell and we’ll check the label for each market.
Who enforces food labelling in Aberdeen?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Aberdeen, with national oversight from Food Standards Scotland. If you want assured advice, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
What if my labels are already printed?
We’ll still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you what must change now and what can wait for the next run.
