Supplement label compliance check in Scottish Borders
A written review of your supplement label against the rules that apply in Scotland, for companies in Scottish Borders and the surrounding area.
What the check covers for Scottish Borders 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. If you need advice councils must respect, 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
Labelling law for supplements from Scottish Borders
Any food supplement sold from Scottish Borders must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, overseen by Food Standards Scotland. Locally, food labelling is enforced by council trading standards or environmental health staff.
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.

Questions from Scottish Borders brands
Who enforces food labelling in the Scottish Borders?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for the Scottish Borders, overseen nationally by Food Standards Scotland. If you want assured advice, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for the Scottish Borders enforce labelling law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
Do you send samples?
Yes, we can. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Scottish Borders address, showing our materials and finishes before you order.
What do I get back?
A written report, with every point marked fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
Do you only work with Scottish Borders businesses?
No. We take orders online from anywhere in the UK, so your location doesn’t matter. Scottish Borders orders go by tracked courier to TD14.
