What the check covers for Cordon 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. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, including ones from other printers. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Rules in Scotland

Supplement labelling rules for Cordon

Products you sell from Cordon must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, regulated nationally by Food Standards Scotland. At a local level, food labelling is enforced by the local authority’s trading standards or environmental health officers for North Ayrshire.

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 check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.
