Questions from Longcroft brands
Who enforces food labelling in Falkirk?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Falkirk, overseen nationally by Food Standards Scotland. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Falkirk enforce labelling law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
Can you check a label that’s already printed?
We’ll still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you which are urgent and which can wait for your next print run.
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. Tell us where you sell and we’ll cover both.
What do I get back?
A written, point-by-point report, with each item marked fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
What the check covers for Longcroft 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. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, not just our own. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.
