Check your supplement label: Fordoun brands
A written review of your supplement label against the rules that apply in Scotland, for brands in Fordoun and across Aberdeenshire.
What the check covers for Fordoun 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. 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, including ones from other printers.
