Supplement label compliance check in Maxton
Send us your label and we’ll tell you, in writing, what must change before it goes on sale from Maxton.
What the check covers for Maxton 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. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Common questions in Maxton
Do I need to be based in Maxton to order?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so your location doesn’t matter. Maxton orders go out by tracked courier to TD6.
Who enforces food labelling in the Scottish Borders?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for the Scottish Borders, with national oversight from Food Standards Scotland. If you want assured advice, consider a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
What if my labels are already printed?
We’ll still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you what must change now and what can wait for the next run.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for the Scottish Borders enforce labelling law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
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 health claims must be on the EU register and the address must be in NI or the EU. Tell us where you sell and we’ll check the label for each market.
