Rules in Scotland
Labelling law for supplements from Powfoot
Any food supplement sold from Powfoot must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, regulated nationally by Food Standards Scotland. At a local level, food labelling is enforced by the local authority’s trading standards or environmental health officers.
Scotland has its own food regulator, but the supplement labelling rules match England and Wales, so one label works across Great Britain.

What the check covers for Powfoot 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. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Powfoot questions
Who enforces food labelling in Dumfries and Galloway?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Dumfries and Galloway, overseen nationally by Food Standards Scotland. For advice councils must respect, consider a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
What do I get back?
A written, point-by-point report, with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
Can you check a label that’s 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.
Do I need to be based in Powfoot to order?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so your location doesn’t matter. Powfoot deliveries go by tracked courier to DG12.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We can check for both. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, so claims must come from the EU register and the address must be in NI or the EU. Tell us where you sell and we’ll cover both.
