Check your supplement label: Hoy brands
A written review of your supplement label against the rules that apply in Scotland, for businesses in Hoy and across Orkney Islands.
Common questions in Hoy
Do you only work with Hoy businesses?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so your location doesn’t matter. Hoy orders go by tracked delivery to KW16.
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.
How long does a check take?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We can check for both. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, so claims must come from 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.
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Yes, we can. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Hoy, showing our materials and finishes.
What the check covers for Hoy 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. 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, including ones from other printers.

Rules in Scotland
Supplement labelling rules for Hoy
Supplements sold from Hoy must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, overseen by Food Standards Scotland. In the Orkney Islands, 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.
