Supplement label compliance check in Embo
A written review of your supplement label against the rules that apply in Scotland, for brands in Embo and across Highland.
Common questions in Embo
How long does a check take?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We check against both sets of rules. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, so claims must come from the EU register and the address must work for that market. Let us know where your products go and we’ll cover both.
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.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for Highland enforce the law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Embo?
Embo is in Scotland, so the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003 apply, alongside the general food information rules. Health claims must come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
What the check covers for Embo 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. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, including ones from other printers.

Rules in Scotland
Supplement labelling rules for Embo
Supplements sold from Embo must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, overseen by Food Standards Scotland. In Highland, food labelling is enforced by council trading standards or environmental health staff for Highland.
Scotland has its own food regulator, but the supplement labelling rules match England and Wales, so one label works across Great Britain.
