Supplement label compliance check in Grimeston
A written review of your supplement label against the rules that apply in Scotland, for companies in Grimeston and across Orkney Islands.
What the check covers for Grimeston 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. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Rules in Scotland
Supplement labelling rules for Grimeston
Products you sell from Grimeston must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, under the oversight of Food Standards Scotland. At a local level, food labelling is enforced by the council’s trading standards or environmental health team.
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, and then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

Grimeston questions
Who enforces food labelling in the Orkney Islands?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for the Orkney Islands, overseen nationally by Food Standards Scotland. For advice councils must respect, consider a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for the Orkney Islands enforce labelling law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
Do you only work with Grimeston businesses?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Grimeston orders go out by tracked courier to KW17.
Can you check a label that’s 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 you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
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 work for that market. Let us know where your products go and we’ll cover both.
