Supplement label checks for Gattonside, Scottish Borders
Send us your label and we’ll tell you, in writing, what must change before it goes on sale from Gattonside.
What the check covers for Gattonside 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, including ones from other printers. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Rules in Scotland
Labelling law for supplements from Gattonside
Supplements sold from Gattonside must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, overseen by Food Standards Scotland. In the Scottish Borders, food labelling is enforced by the council’s trading standards or environmental health team for the Scottish Borders.
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 review your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

Questions from Gattonside brands
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for the Scottish Borders enforce the law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
Do you send samples?
Yes, we can. Request a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Gattonside address, so you can feel the materials and finishes.
How long does a check take?
We’ll tell you the turnaround when you send your artwork, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Gattonside?
Gattonside is in Scotland, so the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003 cover your label, alongside the general food information rules. Health claims have to come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We can check for both. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, 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 cover both.
