Supplement label compliance check in Duns
Send us your label and we’ll tell you, in writing, what must change before it goes on sale from Duns.
What the check covers for Duns 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. It’s a practical review, not 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, not just our own.

Label rules that apply in Duns
Products you sell from Duns must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, overseen by Food Standards Scotland. At a local level, 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.

FAQs for Duns
Can you check a label that’s 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 the Scottish Borders enforce the law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
What do I get back?
A written, point-by-point report, with each item marked as fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
Do I need to be based in Duns to order?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Duns orders go out by tracked courier to TD11.
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.
