Common questions in Finstown
What does the report look like?
A written report, with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
Do you send samples?
Yes, we can. Request a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Finstown, showing our materials and finishes.
Can you check a label that’s already printed?
We’ll still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you what must change now and what can wait for the next 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 be in NI or the EU. Tell us where you sell and we’ll cover both.
Who enforces food labelling in the Orkney Islands?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for the Orkney Islands, overseen nationally by Food Standards Scotland. If you want assured advice, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
What the check covers for Finstown 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. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, not just our own.

Rules in Scotland
Labelling law for supplements from Finstown
Supplements sold from Finstown must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, overseen by Food Standards Scotland. Locally, food labelling is enforced by council trading standards or environmental health staff.
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, then review your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.
