Supplement label checks for Charlestown, Fife
A written review of your supplement label against the rules that apply in Scotland, for companies in Charlestown and across Fife.
What the check covers for Charlestown 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. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, not just our own.

Charlestown questions
Who enforces food labelling in Fife?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Fife, with national oversight from Food Standards Scotland. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We check against both sets of rules. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, so health claims must be on 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.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Fife enforce the 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.
What do I get back?
A written report, with every point marked fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
