Rules in Scotland
Supplement labelling rules for Westruther
Supplements sold from Westruther must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, overseen 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 review your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.
What we check
- Supplement statements
- %NRV and units
- Health claims
- Allergens
- Text size
- Address and batch

What the check covers for Westruther 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. For assured advice, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, not just our own.

Common questions in Westruther
Do you send samples?
Yes. Request a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Westruther address, so you can feel the materials and finishes.
Who checks supplement labels in the Scottish Borders?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for the Scottish Borders, with national oversight from Food Standards Scotland. For advice councils must respect, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
What if my labels are already printed?
We’ll still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you what must change now and what can wait for the next run.
How long does a check take?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
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 be in NI or the EU. Tell us where you sell and we’ll check the label for each market.
