What the check covers for Tenston 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. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Rules in Scotland
Supplement labelling rules for Tenston
Any food supplement sold from Tenston must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, overseen by Food Standards Scotland. In the Orkney Islands, food labelling is enforced by the council’s trading standards or environmental health team for the Orkney Islands.
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.

Questions from Tenston brands
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, with national oversight from Food Standards Scotland. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
What does the report look like?
A written, point-by-point report, with each item marked as fine, advised or must fix, plus suggested wording.
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 work for that market. Tell us where you sell and we’ll cover both.
Do you only work with Tenston businesses?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Tenston deliveries go by tracked delivery to KW16.
How quickly do you review a label?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
