Supplement label compliance check in Tankerness
A written review of your supplement label against the rules that apply in Scotland, for companies in Tankerness and across Orkney Islands.
What the check covers for Tankerness 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, including ones from other printers. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Rules in Scotland
Labelling law for supplements from Tankerness
Any food supplement sold from Tankerness must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, regulated nationally by Food Standards Scotland. At a local level, food labelling is enforced by the council’s trading standards or environmental health team.
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.

Tankerness questions
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We can check for both. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, so health claims must be on the EU register and the address must work for that market. Let us know where your products go and we’ll check the label for each market.
How long does a check take?
We’ll tell you the turnaround when you send your artwork.
Who checks supplement labels in the Orkney Islands?
Supplement 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, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.

No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Tankerness deliveries go out by tracked courier to KW17.
