What the check covers for Kirkcudbright 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.

Rules in Scotland
Supplement labelling rules for Kirkcudbright
Products you sell from Kirkcudbright 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, and then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

Common questions in Kirkcudbright
What do I get back?
A written report, with each item marked fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
Who checks supplement labels in Dumfries and Galloway?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Dumfries and Galloway, overseen nationally by Food Standards Scotland. If you want assured advice, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We check against both sets of rules. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, 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.
Do you only work with Kirkcudbright businesses?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so your location doesn’t matter. Kirkcudbright orders go out by tracked delivery to DG6.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for Dumfries and Galloway enforce labelling law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
