Label rules that apply in Gourdon
Products you sell from Gourdon must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, regulated nationally by Food Standards Scotland. In Aberdeenshire, 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.

What the check covers for Gourdon 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. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, not just our own.

Gourdon questions
Who checks supplement labels in Aberdeenshire?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Aberdeenshire, overseen nationally by Food Standards Scotland. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
What if my labels are already printed?
We’ll 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 Gourdon to order?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so your location doesn’t matter. Gourdon deliveries go out by tracked courier to DD10.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We can check for both. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, so health claims must be on the EU register and the address must work for that market. Let us know where your products go and we’ll check the label for each market.
Do you send samples?
Yes. Request a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Gourdon address, so you can feel the materials and finishes.
