Check your supplement label: Lyness brands
Send us your label and we’ll tell you, in writing, what must change before it goes on sale from Lyness.
What the check covers for Lyness 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. 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.

Common questions in Lyness
Who enforces food labelling in the Orkney Islands?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for the Orkney Islands, with national oversight from Food Standards Scotland. If you want assured advice, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for the Orkney Islands enforce labelling law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
Do you only work with Lyness businesses?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Lyness orders go out by tracked courier to KW16.
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 can check for both. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, so health claims must be on the EU register and the address must work for that market. Let us know where your products go and we’ll cover both.
Rules in Scotland
Labelling law for supplements from Lyness

Scotland has its own food regulator, but the supplement labelling rules match England and Wales, so one label works across Great Britain.
