Technical Manager - Global Food Manufacturer
Most food and beverage products in the UK require nutritional data, covering energy, fat, saturates, carbohydrates, sugars, protein and salt. Additional testing maybe required e.g. fibre, vitamins/minerals etc. depending on nutrition or health claims made on pack.
For routine label declaration on many products, calculation from ingredient specifications is acceptable under UK food labelling regulation. However analytical testing is essential in many cases when products are close to the HFSS threshold, your product is highly processed, when nutrition or health claims require substantiation, when a retailers technical team request data, when formulations change or when you need to defend your label in the event of regulatory enquiry or consumer complaint.
RSSL provides nutritional testing across all food and drink categories – ambient grocery, chilled and frozen products, beverages, snacking, confectionery, bakery, dairy, functional foods, sports nutrition and more. Our analytical methods are validated for a wide range of food matrices.
