Supplement label compliance check in Crossroads
Send us your label and we’ll tell you, in writing, what must change before it goes on sale from Crossroads.
What the check covers for Crossroads 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, not just our own. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.
Crossroads is about 14 miles south-west of Aberdeen, in Aberdeenshire. Crossroads businesses order from us online, and labels go out by tracked delivery to AB31 and the surrounding area. Crossroads is one of 138 towns and villages in Aberdeenshire our labels go out to. Our customers stretch from Crossroads to Glasgow (about 108 miles away), all at the same prices.

Questions from Crossroads brands
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Aberdeenshire enforce the law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
Who enforces food labelling in Aberdeenshire?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Aberdeenshire, 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 only work with Crossroads businesses?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so your location doesn’t matter. Crossroads deliveries go out by tracked courier to AB31.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We can check for both. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, so health claims must be on the EU register and the address must work for that market. Tell us where you sell and we’ll cover both.
What do I get back?
A written report, with each item marked fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
