Supplement label compliance check in Lochdon
Send us your label and we’ll tell you, in writing, what must change before it goes on sale from Lochdon.
What the check covers for Lochdon 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. This is a practical check rather than 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, not just our own.

Questions from Lochdon brands
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Lochdon?
Lochdon is in Scotland, so the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003 apply, alongside 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 can check for both. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, so health claims must be on the EU register and the address must be in NI or the EU. Let us know where your products go and we’ll check the label for each market.
Do you send samples?
Yes, we can. Request a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Lochdon, so you can feel the materials and finishes before you order.
What if my labels are already printed?
We can still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you what must change now and what can wait for the next run.
What does the report look like?
A written report, with every point marked fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
