Check your supplement label: Hourston brands
Check your supplement label before Trading Standards, a retailer or Amazon does. Reviews for Hourston brands, done online.
What the check covers for Hourston 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. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, including ones from other printers.
Hourston is about 11 miles north-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. For Hourston addresses, delivery is usually two working days after dispatch. We print for brands in 51 places across the Orkney Islands, from the larger towns to small villages. We print for brands right across the region, from Hourston to Glasgow (about 225 miles away), all at the same prices.

Hourston questions
Do you only work with Hourston businesses?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Hourston deliveries go by tracked delivery to KW17.
Do you send samples?
Yes, we can. Request a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Hourston, so you can feel the materials and finishes before you order.
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, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
What do I get back?
A written, point-by-point report, with each item marked fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
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 claims must come from the EU register and the address must work for that market. Tell us where you sell and we’ll cover both.

Rules in Scotland
Label rules that apply in Hourston
Any food supplement sold from Hourston must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, under the oversight of Food Standards Scotland. Locally, food labelling is enforced by council trading standards or environmental health staff.
Scotland has its own food regulator, but the supplement labelling rules match England and Wales, so one label works across Great Britain.
A good first step is our label requirements checklist, then review your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.
