Rules in Scotland
Labelling law for supplements from The Barony
Supplements sold from The Barony must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, under the oversight of Food Standards Scotland. Locally, food labelling is enforced by council trading standards or environmental health staff 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.
Begin with our label requirements checklist, and then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

What the check covers for The Barony 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. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, not just our own. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

The Barony questions
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from The Barony?
The Barony 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.
How quickly do you review a label?
We’ll tell you the turnaround when you send your artwork, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
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.
Is your check the same as a Trading Standards check?
No. Trading Standards for the Orkney Islands enforce the law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
Do I need to be based in The Barony to order?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so your location doesn’t matter. The Barony orders go by tracked delivery to KW17.
