Supplement label compliance check in Darnick
A written review of your supplement label against UK labelling rules that apply in Scotland, for brands in Darnick and across Scottish Borders.
What the check covers for Darnick 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. 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, including ones from other printers.

Darnick questions
Who enforces food labelling in the Scottish Borders?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for the Scottish Borders, with national oversight from Food Standards Scotland. If you want assured advice, consider a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for the Scottish Borders enforce labelling law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
How long does a check take?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Darnick?
Darnick is in Scotland, so the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003 apply, together with the general food information rules. Health claims have to come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
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. Tell us where you sell and we’ll check the label for each market.
