FAQs for Gatehead
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We check against both sets of rules. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, 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 checks supplement labels in East Ayrshire?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for East Ayrshire, with national oversight from Food Standards Scotland. If you want assured advice, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
How quickly do you review a label?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label.
What do I get back?
A written report, with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for East Ayrshire enforce labelling law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
What the check covers for Gatehead 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. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, not just our own. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.
