Supplement label compliance check in Rackwick
Send us your label and we’ll tell you, in writing, what must change before it goes on sale from Rackwick.
Questions from Rackwick brands
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Yes. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Rackwick address, so you can feel the materials and finishes before you order.
Who enforces food labelling in the Orkney Islands?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for the Orkney Islands, overseen nationally by Food Standards Scotland. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
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 this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for the Orkney Islands enforce the law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
What do I get back?
A written, point-by-point report, with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
What the check covers for Rackwick 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. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, including ones from other printers. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Supplement labelling rules for Rackwick
Supplements sold from Rackwick must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, overseen by Food Standards Scotland. In the Orkney Islands, food labelling is enforced by council trading standards or environmental health staff 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, then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

- %NRV and units
