Supplement label compliance check in Shieldaig
Send us your label and we’ll tell you, in writing, what must change before it goes on sale from Shieldaig.
What the check covers for Shieldaig 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. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, 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.

Supplement labelling rules for Shieldaig
Products you sell from Shieldaig must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, under the oversight of Food Standards Scotland. In Highland, 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.
Start with our label requirements checklist, and then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

Common questions in Shieldaig
Who enforces food labelling in Highland?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Highland, overseen nationally by Food Standards Scotland. If you want assured advice, consider a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Can you check a label that’s already printed?
We can still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you which are urgent and which can wait for your next print run.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for Highland enforce labelling law; we give a practical second opinion before you print.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We check against both sets of rules. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, 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.
Do you send samples?
Yes, we can. Request a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Shieldaig address, showing our materials and finishes before you order.
