Common questions in Ednam
Can you check a label that’s already printed?
We’ll still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you which are urgent and which can wait for your next print run.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We check against both sets of rules. 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 does the report look like?
A written, point-by-point report, with every point marked fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for the Scottish Borders enforce the law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
Do you send samples?
Yes. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Ednam, showing our materials and finishes.
What the check covers for Ednam 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, including ones from other printers. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Supplement labelling rules for Ednam
Products you sell from Ednam 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.
