What the check covers for Sandhead 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.

Sandhead questions
Who enforces food labelling in Dumfries and Galloway?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Dumfries and Galloway, with national oversight from Food Standards Scotland. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Dumfries and Galloway enforce labelling law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We check against both sets of rules. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, so claims must come from the EU register and the address must work for that market. Tell us where you sell and we’ll cover both.
Do you send samples?
Yes. Request a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Sandhead address, so you can feel the materials and finishes.
Do you only work with Sandhead businesses?
No. We take orders online from anywhere in the UK, so your location doesn’t matter. Sandhead orders go by tracked courier to DG9.
