What the check covers for Kirkcolm brands

The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, not just our own. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

FAQs for Kirkcolm
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Kirkcolm?
Kirkcolm is in Scotland, so the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003 cover your label, together with the general food information rules. Health claims must come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
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.
What do I get back?
A written report, with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
Do you send samples?
Yes, we can. Request a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Kirkcolm, showing our materials and finishes.
Can you check a label that’s already printed?
We’ll still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you which are urgent and which can wait for your next print run.
