Supplement label compliance check in Stromness
A written review of your supplement label against the rules that apply in Scotland, for companies in Stromness and across Orkney Islands.
What the check covers for Stromness 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. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, 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.

Common questions in Stromness
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.
What do I get back?
A written, point-by-point report, with every point marked fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
Who enforces food labelling in the Orkney Islands?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for the Orkney Islands, overseen nationally by Food Standards Scotland. For advice councils must respect, consider a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Do I need to be based in Stromness to order?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Stromness deliveries go by tracked delivery to KW16.
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 be in NI or the EU. Tell us where you sell and we’ll check the label for each market.
