Check your supplement label: Watten brands
A written review of your supplement label against the rules that apply in Scotland, for businesses in Watten and across Highland.
Rules in Scotland
Label rules that apply in Watten
Any food supplement sold from Watten must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, overseen by Food Standards Scotland. Locally, food labelling is enforced by council trading standards or environmental health staff.
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, and then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

What the check covers for Watten 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. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, including ones from other printers.

FAQs for Watten
How quickly do you review a label?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
Do you send samples?
Yes. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Watten, showing our materials and finishes before you order.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We check against both sets of rules. 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 cover both.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Highland enforce the law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
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.
