Supplement label checks for Stow, Scottish Borders
Check your supplement label before Trading Standards, a retailer or Amazon does. Reviews for Stow brands, done online.
What the check covers for Stow 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. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, not just our own.

Rules in Scotland
Supplement labelling rules for Stow
Products you sell from Stow must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, under the oversight of Food Standards Scotland. At a local level, food labelling is enforced by council trading standards or environmental health staff for the Scottish Borders.
Scotland has its own food regulator, but the supplement labelling rules match England and Wales, so one label works across Great Britain.
Begin with our label requirements checklist, then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

Questions from Stow brands
Do I need to be based in Stow to order?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so your location doesn’t matter. Stow orders go out by tracked delivery to TD1.
Can you check a label that’s already printed?
We’ll still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you which are urgent and which can wait for your next print run.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Stow?
Stow is in Scotland, so the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003 apply, as well as the general food information rules. Health claims must come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
What does the report look like?
A written, point-by-point report, with each item marked as 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 Scottish Borders enforce the law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
