Supplement label compliance check in Cottown
A written review of your supplement label against UK labelling rules that apply in Scotland, for businesses in Cottown and across Aberdeenshire.
What the check covers for Cottown 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. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, including ones from other printers. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

FAQs for Cottown
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Aberdeenshire enforce the law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We can check for both. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, so claims must come from the EU register and the address must work for that market. Let us know where your products go and we’ll check the label for each market.
How long does a check take?
We’ll tell you the turnaround when you send your artwork, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
What does the report look like?
A written report, with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
Do I need to be based in Cottown to order?
No. We take orders online from anywhere in the UK, so your location doesn’t matter. Cottown orders go by tracked delivery to AB51.
Rules in Scotland
Label rules that apply in Cottown
Supplements sold from Cottown must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, regulated nationally by Food Standards Scotland. In Aberdeenshire, food labelling is enforced by the local authority’s trading standards or environmental health officers.
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.
