Check your supplement label: Norseman brands
A written review of your supplement label against the rules that apply in Scotland, for brands in Norseman and across Orkney Islands.
What the check covers for Norseman 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, 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.

Norseman questions
Who checks supplement labels in the Orkney Islands?
Food 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, consider a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
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.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Norseman?
Norseman is in Scotland, so the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003 cover your label, alongside the general food information rules. Health claims have to come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for the Orkney Islands enforce the law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Yes, we can. Request a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Norseman, so you can feel the materials and finishes before you order.
