FAQs for Cove
What if my labels are already printed?
We can still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you which are urgent and which can wait for your next print run.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Argyll and Bute enforce labelling law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
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.
Who checks supplement labels in Argyll and Bute?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Argyll and Bute, with national oversight from Food Standards Scotland. If you want assured advice, consider a Primary Authority partnership with a council.

Yes, we can. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Cove, so you can feel the materials and finishes.
What the check covers for Cove 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. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, including ones from other printers. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Supplement labelling rules for Cove
Any food supplement sold from Cove must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, overseen by Food Standards Scotland. At a local level, food labelling is enforced by council trading standards or environmental health staff.
Scotland has its own food regulator, but the supplement labelling rules match England and Wales, so one label works across Great Britain.
