Accurate nutritional analysis is essential to ensure you comply with labelling regulations and retailer specifications. Understanding nutritional content is also an intrinsic part of new product development and quality control.
Global Standards can ensure that you meet all regulatory requirements concerning nutritional declarations and avoid costly delays in getting your products to market.
At our network of laboratories located around the world, we conduct nutritional analysis and labelling reviews for all your pre-packaged food products.
Our state-of-the-art facilities are equipped to determine values for all mandatory and voluntary measures including calorie, carbohydrate, fat, protein and fiber content, as well as vitamins and minerals.
In addition to our expert analytical services, our advisory experts ensure they are always up to date with the latest regulations and methodologies so they can accurately guide you through the nutritional testing and labelling requirements for your target markets.
Nutritional analysis is just one of a suite of services we provide to ensure the safety and quality of your products.
Our food laboratories can offer a full range of food testing services including microbiology, GMO, meat species, allergens and shelf life.
The European Regulation 1169/2011 was published on the 25th October 2011 and combines all previous EU regulations related to general food labelling, which over the years have become extremely complex.
It is in the process of being enforced in two stages:
From December 13, 2014: Products sold on the market have to comply with the Regulation (the nutrition declaration is still on a voluntary basis unless a specific product claim is made, but from the 13th December it must appear in the new format as detailed below).
By December 16, 2016: Total application of the regulation must be in place: including nutritional labelling which will be mandatory.
Changes related to the Regulation | The new requirements:
There have been changes made to the mandatory requirements - these requirements must be easily visible, legible, indelible and have a minimum font size of 1.2mm
Allergens must be emphasized in the list of ingredients using a specific type set that clearly distinguishes them from the rest of the ingredients
The trade name, net quantity and actual alcoholic strength of alcoholic beverages containing more than 1.2% alcohol by volume, should be in the same visual field
New mandatory particulars:
The nutrition declaration (with exceptions) must be listed in a specific order and in a unique presentation: energy, fat, fatty acids, carbohydrates, sugars, protein and salt
The country of origin is extended to certain meats
The date indication is required for frozen meat, prepared meats and unprocessed fish products
The word "frozen" is mandatory for all commodities (except in special cases: Cf Annex III of the Regulation) which have been frozen and are sold as defrosted
