Support for Label Claims
Looking to make nutrient content or health claims on your packaging? FSNS provides the quantitative testing required to support FDA-compliant label claims.
“Low fat” or “Reduced sodium”
“Gluten-free”
“Good source of fiber”
“Gluten-free”
“High in Vitamin C”
“No added sugars”
These claims must be supported by laboratory data. Our nutritional analysis services ensure that your product contains (or excludes) the nutrients required to make these statements legally and scientifically defensible. We’ll help confirm that your label claims are accurate and compliant with FDA regulations under 21 CFR 101.13 and Subpart E.
Undeclared allergens are one of the top reasons for food recalls. We also perform allergen testing in food products to support accurate labeling so you can help avoid a costly recall.
