Supplement labelling rules for Dunscore
Supplements sold from Dunscore must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, under the oversight of Food Standards Scotland. At a local level, food labelling is enforced by the local authority’s trading standards or environmental health officers for Dumfries and Galloway.
Scotland has its own food regulator, but the supplement labelling rules match England and Wales, so one label works across Great Britain.
Begin with our label requirements checklist, and then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

What the check covers for Dunscore 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. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, not just our own. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Dunscore questions
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
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. Let us know where your products go and we’ll cover both.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for Dumfries and Galloway enforce the law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
Do you send samples?
Yes. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Dunscore, so you can feel the materials and finishes.
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.
Do I need to be based in Dunscore to order?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so your location doesn’t matter. Dunscore orders go by tracked courier to DG2.
