Supplement label checks for Vassa, Shetland Islands
Send us your label and we’ll tell you, in writing, what must change before it goes on sale from Vassa.
What the check covers for Vassa 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. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, including ones from other printers. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Common questions in Vassa
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We check against both sets of rules. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, so health claims must be on the EU register and the address must be in NI or the EU. Let us know where your products go and we’ll check the label for each market.
Who enforces food labelling in the Shetland Islands?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for the Shetland Islands, overseen nationally by Food Standards Scotland. If you want assured advice, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
What do I get back?
A written, point-by-point report, with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
How long does a check take?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label.
What if my labels are already printed?
We can still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you what must change now and what can wait for the next run.
Rules in Scotland
Label rules that apply in Vassa
Products you sell from Vassa must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, overseen by Food Standards Scotland. At a local level, food labelling is enforced by the local authority’s trading standards or environmental health officers.
Scotland has its own food regulator, but the supplement labelling rules match England and Wales, so one label works across Great Britain.
