What the check covers for Scalloway 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. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, not just our own.

Rules in Scotland
Supplement labelling rules for Scalloway
Any food supplement sold from Scalloway must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, regulated nationally by Food Standards Scotland. At a local level, food labelling is enforced by council trading standards or environmental health staff for the Shetland 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.

- Supplement statements
- %NRV and units

Questions from Scalloway brands
What if my labels are already printed?
We can still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you what must change now and what can wait for the next run.
What do I get back?
A written report, with each item marked fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for the Shetland Islands enforce the law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Yes. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Scalloway address, so you can feel the materials and finishes before you order.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Scalloway?
Scalloway is in Scotland, so the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003 apply, as well as the general food information rules. Health claims have to come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
