What the check covers for Scothern brands
Send your artwork or draft copy. We review it against the Food Supplements (England) 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. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Questions from Scothern brands
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We can check for both. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, so health claims must be on the EU register and the address must work for that market. Tell us where you sell and we’ll check the label for each market.
Who enforces food labelling in Lincolnshire?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Lincolnshire, overseen nationally by the Food Standards Agency. If you want assured advice, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
What do I get back?
A written, point-by-point report, with each item marked as fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
Do I need to be based in Scothern to order?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Scothern orders go by tracked courier to LN2.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Lincolnshire enforce the law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
