Supplement label checks for Peel, Scottish Borders
Send us your label and we’ll tell you, in writing, what must change before it goes on sale from Peel.
What the check covers for Peel 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. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, including ones from other printers.

Peel questions
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for the Scottish Borders enforce labelling law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
Can you check a label that’s already printed?
We can still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you what must change now and what can wait for the next run.
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 health claims must be on the EU register and the address must work for that market. Tell us where you sell and we’ll cover both.
What does the report look like?
A written report, with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
Do you send samples?
Yes. Request a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Peel, so you can feel the materials and finishes.
Rules in Scotland
Labelling law for supplements from Peel
Products you sell from Peel must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, regulated nationally by Food Standards Scotland. At a local level, food labelling is enforced by the council’s trading standards or environmental health team for the Scottish Borders.
Scotland has its own food regulator, but the supplement labelling rules match England and Wales, so one label works across Great Britain.
Start with our label requirements checklist, and then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.
