Supplement label compliance check in Pierowall
A written review of your supplement label against the rules that apply in Scotland, for companies in Pierowall and across Orkney Islands.
What the check covers for Pierowall 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, including ones from other printers. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Rules in Scotland
Labelling law for supplements from Pierowall
Any food supplement sold from Pierowall 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 Orkney Islands.
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.

Questions from Pierowall brands
What if my labels are already printed?
We’ll still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you which are urgent and which can wait for your next print run.
Who checks supplement labels in the Orkney Islands?
Supplement 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.
How quickly do you review a label?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
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. Let us know where your products go and we’ll check the label for each market.
Do you only work with Pierowall businesses?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so your location doesn’t matter. Pierowall orders go by tracked courier to KW17.
