Rules in Scotland
Labelling law for supplements from Fordyce
Any food supplement sold from Fordyce must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, under the oversight of Food Standards Scotland. Locally, food labelling is enforced by the local authority’s trading standards or environmental health officers for Aberdeenshire.
Scotland has its own food regulator, but the supplement labelling rules match England and Wales, so one label works across Great Britain.
Start with our label requirements checklist, then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

What the check covers for Fordyce 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. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, including ones from other printers.

Questions from Fordyce brands
What do I get back?
A written, point-by-point report, with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
Do you only work with Fordyce businesses?
No. We take orders online from anywhere in the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Fordyce deliveries go by tracked delivery to AB45.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
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 be in NI or the EU. Let us know where your products go and we’ll check the label for each market.
How long does a check take?
We’ll tell you the turnaround when you send your artwork.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for Aberdeenshire enforce labelling law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
