What the check covers for Livingston brands

Livingston questions
Can you check a label that’s already printed?
We can still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you which are urgent and which can wait for your next print run.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Livingston?
Livingston is in Scotland, so the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003 apply, alongside the general food information rules. Health claims have to come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We can check for both. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, so health claims must be on the EU register and the address must work for that market. Tell us where you sell and we’ll cover both.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for West Lothian enforce labelling law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
Do you send samples?
Yes. Request a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Livingston, so you can feel the materials and finishes.
