Rules in Scotland
Labelling law for supplements from Lerwick
Supplements sold from Lerwick must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, under the oversight of Food Standards Scotland. In the Shetland Islands, food labelling is enforced by the local authority’s trading standards or environmental health officers for the Shetland Islands.
Scotland has its own food regulator, but the supplement labelling rules match England and Wales, so one label works across Great Britain.

What the check covers for Lerwick 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. 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.

Common questions in Lerwick
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We check against both sets of rules. 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 cover both.
Who enforces food labelling in the Shetland Islands?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for the Shetland Islands, overseen nationally by Food Standards Scotland. If you want assured advice, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Do you only work with Lerwick businesses?
No. We take orders online from anywhere in the UK, so your location doesn’t matter. Lerwick orders go out by tracked courier to ZE1.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for the Shetland Islands enforce the law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Lerwick?
Lerwick is in Scotland, so the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003 cover your label, together with the general food information rules. Health claims have to come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
