Rules in Scotland
Labelling law for supplements from Loans
Supplements sold from Loans must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, under the oversight of Food Standards Scotland. At a local level, food labelling is enforced by council trading standards or environmental health staff for South Ayrshire.
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, then review your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

- %NRV and units

What the check covers for Loans 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. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, not just our own.

Questions from Loans brands
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Loans?
Loans 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.
What if my labels are 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.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We can check for both. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, so claims must come from the EU register and the address must work for that market. Tell us where you sell and we’ll cover both.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for South Ayrshire enforce the law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
Who checks supplement labels in South Ayrshire?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for South Ayrshire, with national oversight from Food Standards Scotland. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
