FOOD NUTRITION ANALYSIS
TRYING TO CREATE A NUTITIONAL LABEL ON YOUR OWN?
WHY A NUTRITION ANALYSIS?
FDA COMPLIANT FOOD NUTRITIONAL ANALYSIS AND FDA COMPLIANT LABEL FOR YOUR FOOD PRODUCT

Our turnaround time is approximately 10-15 days from the time that our lab receives your samples.

Every retail food product must display a FDA compliant food label. Some products can be done by recipe, but not all retailers approve this type of labeling, and the physical testing is required. When submitting your sample to our lab for a complete analysis of your products, we will need to have a list of ingredients and recipes. Disclosing this information is completely safe and PCAS backs this up with a NDA kept on file to protect your interests. Does my product need to be tested? Any food product that is brined, marinated, fried, fermented or brewed will often need lab testing. Some products labels can be created using our database, but we can walk you through each step to ensure you are 100% FDA compliant.

What is required by the FDA? The FDA compliant label must include: Calcium, Calories from Fat, Total Calories, Total Carbohydrates, Cholesterol, Trans-fat, Saturated Fat, Total Fat, Dietary Fiber, Iron, Protein, Sodium, Sugars, Vitamin D, Potassium, Ash and Moisture. With each laboratory analysis you will receive a completed lab report along with an FDA compliant Nutrition Facts Label.

We are experts in guiding all of our clients through this process. Call or email us today. Doing this of over 30 year ensures 100% accuracy for you. Our experts will talk you thru what is needed for your specific product and provide you with fair price to get your product on the market with accurate, compliant nutritional facts, guaranteed.

Pricing

Each customer’s needs are different, so we want to tailor a pricing schedule that meets your specific requirements. The final FDA compliant label is always included, so don’t be fooled by other labs that charge for creating the label.

What Is Laboratory Nutrition Analysis?

Nutrition analysis is a process of evaluating the nutritional value of food. It helps to determine the amount of nutrients present in the food. Laboratory nutrition analysis is a more accurate way to measure the nutritional value of food and is used instead of software to determine the actual nutrition components for the FDA compliant Nutrition Facts Panel. This can be done using a variety of methods, including chemical analysis and physical analysis. In general, nutrition analysis is used to help determine the nutrient content of foods for use in the development of an FDA compliant Nutrition Facts Panel.

Nutritional Analysis lets you know the amount of different nutrients that are present in your food. A typical test will cover all the values needed to make a complete FDA compliant Nutrition Facts Label. Do you need to claim if you have an allergen? Ask us what is required or visit our allergen testing page here.

Can I just use the nutritional database and save time and money?

All foods need nutrition facts labeling, but not every product will need to have the physical analysis performed. Several food and beverage products labels can be created in our extensive food database, but we would need to help you determine if this is right for you and your company. PCAS wants to ensure you are getting exactly what you are needing based on your individual company needs. Some retailers to not accept labeling by database and other do. If your food process includes dehydrated, brewed, filtered, fermented, pickled, or brined or we cannot find all of your ingredients, then we must complete the laboratory analysis on your product.

If is verified that we can us our database, we can complete the FDA label creation in just a few days. Again, with this type of label creation, we will need to have a complete recipe of your product(s) that is always protected by our mutual NDA. If you are interested in this type of labeling, give us a call or email us at [email protected]. All of this information can be found on our label by recipe page found here.

FDA nutritional analysis is a report that provides detailed information about the nutrition content of a particular food product. This FDA food label can help you to make good dietary choices, and to ensure that your food is nutritionally adequate.

What should everyone be eating every day?

The National Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Medicine (IOM) has developed a Nutrition Adequacy Statement (NAS) that defines the minimum levels of essential nutrients that must be consumed to maintain health.

The National Academy of Sciences’ suggests that everyone, aged 1 year and older, consume at least:

  • Fruits and vegetables: 5-7 cups/day –
  • Grains: at least half a grain per day, including at least one whole grain
  • Milk and dairy: 2 cups/day
  • Fish and seafood: at least two servings/week
  • Oils, nuts, seeds, and dried fruits a: at least two servings/week
  • Fruits, vegetables, legumes

Nutritional Analysis Cost

Nutritional analysis cost varies depending on the type of analysis performed. If we are able to create an accurate label by database, this is less expensive than the complete laboratory analysis. We are experts and will help you through this step and provide you with the best solution for you and your company.

What’s included in an FDA Label?

Nutrition analysis is the process of determination the nutrient values of a food or beverage product. This can be done at our lab in-house through a variety of methods. All of these methods will be detailed on your final report. Everything that is required by the FDA for your label is included. Ask us for a sample report & label. Other statements might trigger additional testing and would be required on your FDA label, but we can help you determine as we work closely with you.

How do they measure the nutritional data of food?

Here at our lab in San Fernando, PCAS uses a variety of techniques to measure the nutritional content of the food. Our methods include using sophisticated laboratory pieces of equipment like:

  • gas-chromatography, which is used to determine fatty acid and cholesterol content
  • spectrophotometry for determining vitamin A or riboflavin
  • ICP-MS for sodium and calcium
  • HPLC’s (high performance liquid chromatography) for caffeine
