Questions from St Abbs brands
Do you send samples?
Yes, we can. Request a sample pack and we’ll post it to your St Abbs address, showing our materials and finishes before you order.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for the Scottish Borders enforce the law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
What do I get back?
A written report, with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
Who enforces food labelling in the Scottish Borders?
Supplement 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.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from St Abbs?
St Abbs 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.
What the check covers for St Abbs brands
We read your label line by line: the supplement statements, the nutrient table and %NRV maths, ingredients and allergens, claims, text size and traceability. You get a written report you can act on or pass to your designer. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, not just our own. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.
