Gowkshill questions
Who enforces food labelling in Midlothian?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Midlothian, overseen nationally by Food Standards Scotland. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Gowkshill?
Gowkshill is in Scotland, so the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003 cover your label, alongside the general food information rules. Health claims must come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
How quickly do you review a label?
We’ll tell you the turnaround when you send your artwork, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We can check for both. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, 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 cover both.
What does the report look like?
A written, point-by-point report, with each item marked fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
What the check covers for Gowkshill 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. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, not just our own.
