Common questions in Houbie
How long does a check take?
We’ll tell you the turnaround when you send your artwork.
What does the report look like?
A written report, with every point marked fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Houbie?
Houbie is in Scotland, so the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003 cover your label, as well as the general food information rules. Health claims have to come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for the Shetland Islands enforce labelling law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
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.
What the check covers for Houbie 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. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, including ones from other printers.

Label rules that apply in Houbie

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