Supplement label compliance check in Philpstoun
A written review of your supplement label against UK labelling rules that apply in Scotland, for businesses in Philpstoun and across West Lothian.
What the check covers for Philpstoun 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. 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.
