Rules in Scotland
Labelling law for supplements from Markinch
Products you sell from Markinch must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, under the oversight of Food Standards Scotland. At a local level, food labelling is enforced by the local authority’s trading standards or environmental health officers.
Scotland has its own food regulator, but the supplement labelling rules match England and Wales, so one label works across Great Britain.
Begin with our label requirements checklist, and then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.
What we check
- Supplement statements
- %NRV and units
- Health claims
- Allergens
- Text size
- Address and batch

What the check covers for Markinch 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. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, including ones from other printers. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.
Markinch is about 1 miles east of Glenrothes, in Fife. For Markinch addresses, delivery is usually the next working day after dispatch. We deliver to 112 places across Fife. We print for brands right across the region, from Markinch to Glasgow (about 50 miles away).

Questions from Markinch brands
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Fife enforce the law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
How long does a check take?
We’ll tell you the turnaround when you send your artwork, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We check against both sets of rules. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, 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 cover both.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Markinch?
Markinch is in Scotland, so the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003 apply, together with the general food information rules. Health claims have to come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
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.
