A written review of your supplement label against UK labelling rules that apply in Scotland, for companies in New Abbey and across Dumfries and Galloway.
Rules in Scotland
Labelling law for supplements from New Abbey
Supplements sold from New Abbey must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, overseen by Food Standards Scotland. In Dumfries and Galloway, 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.
A good first step is our label requirements checklist, and then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

What the check covers for New Abbey brands
We read your label line by line: the supplement statements, the nutrient table and %NRV maths, ingredients and allergens, claims, text size and traceability. You get a written report you can act on or pass to your designer. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, not just our own.

Questions from New Abbey brands
Who checks supplement labels in Dumfries and Galloway?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Dumfries and Galloway, with national oversight from Food Standards Scotland. For advice councils must respect, consider a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
How long does a check take?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for Dumfries and Galloway enforce labelling law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from New Abbey?
New Abbey 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.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We check against both sets of rules. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, so claims must come from 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.
