Portlethen questions

What if my labels are already printed?

We’ll still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you what must change now and what can wait for the next run.

Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?

No. Trading Standards for Aberdeen enforce the law; we give an independent practical check before you print.

Do you only work with Portlethen businesses?

No. We take orders online from anywhere in the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Portlethen deliveries go by tracked delivery to AB12.

Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Portlethen?

Portlethen 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.

How quickly do you review a label?

We confirm the turnaround when you send your label.

What the check covers for Portlethen 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. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.
