Supplement label compliance check in Geirinis
A written review of your supplement label against UK labelling rules that apply in Scotland, for companies in Geirinis and across Na h-Eileanan Siar.
Questions from Geirinis brands
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 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 check the label for each market.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Geirinis?
Geirinis 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.
Can you check a label that’s already printed?
We can still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you what must change now and what can wait for the next run.
Do I need to be based in Geirinis to order?
No. We take orders online from anywhere in the UK, so your location doesn’t matter. Geirinis orders go by tracked courier to HS8.
Who checks supplement labels in Na h-Eileanan Siar?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Na h-Eileanan Siar, overseen nationally by Food Standards Scotland. If you want assured advice, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.

Scotland has its own food regulator, but the supplement labelling rules match England and Wales, so one label works across Great Britain.
