RECIPE ANALYSIS
Recipe Analysis is a crucial first step in creating a Nutrition Facts label. Recipe Analysis is also important for restaurant owners and chefs in order to develop and modify their menus. Maintaining FDA compliance is a must for all in the food industry. Energyent provides quality recipe analysis by combining professional experience along with state of the art computer analysis programming. A full report is provided for each recipe analysis.
This is an example of a Full Recipe Analysis Report. Each recipe analysis includes a recipe report listing all recipe ingredients in order according to their weight. The FDA requires that a recipe report is kept on file for each recipe.
There are occasions when retail stores require a 100g Report on the food items. This is a sample 100g Report that can be generated from your recipe.
Although most products do not require a laboratory analysis, there are certain situations when we will recommend sending products to a lab, such as a food fortified with Vitamin C or other supplements, very rare ingredients, or shelf life studies, to name a few.
Both lab and computer analysis are accurate if done correctly, however, if lab analysis is performed on a single product sample, the result may not be the same every time due to slight inherent variations in the ingredients of a recipe (e.g. salt, flour or sugar). The slight differences that occur in recipe batches can be seen in side-by-side lab analysis. Computer analysis gives a more consistent analysis of recipes, taking into consideration slight variance that occurs in each recipe batch.
In such cases as vitamin or mineral fortification, please bear in mind that after we complete the computer-based ingredient analysis of your recipe, we recommend that you have only those fortified ingredients analyzed by a lab. Energyent will assist you step-by-step during the complete process until you have the desired results and finished label. If your ingredients are not fortified, and you are planning on making claims, Energyent can assist you in confirming claims.
Simple claims, such as “Low Fat” for example, in most cases do not require a lab analysis if the product is not fortified and the nutrient results are from the food’s natural sources. Although claims are not necessary on a package, they are an excellent marketing tool. Energyent can guide and assist you every step of the way, should you decide to make any claims.
Also bear in mind that if you are sending your product to a lab with respect to shelf life claims, we strongly urge you not to do so until Energyent has analyzed your recipe. Adjustments that might need to be made in your recipe (i.e., lowering the sodium) should be finalized before sending off to the lab. This will help keep your costs down.
Additionally, for any supplements sent to a lab for analysis, Energyent can assist you with your art ready label (one that is ready for your printer or graphic artist).
Many labs supply data based on 100 grams. Energyent can assist by taking this information and converting to information based on correct serving size for the product and correct number of servings per container.
We have all the answers and are here to assist you with whatever your needs are—whether you are involved with a laboratory analysis or not. Our highly trained staff will guide you every step of the way.
If your recipe has already been analyzed by a lab, we then use the lab results to create your art ready Nutrition Facts label, according to FDA Guidelines, using your products' serving size and servings per container.
A Confidentiality Agreement accompanies every order. Our Confidentiality Agreement gives you the security of knowing that your formulas and recipes are held in strict confidence and are never shared.
NUTRITION FACTS LABELS
According to the New Updated FDA specifications, Nutrition Facts labels are created using the data derived from the Nutritional Analysis of your recipe. International labels are created according to each country's specifications.
Vertical, Tabular and Linear label formats are available in Full, Simplified, Shortened or Dual formats. The appropriate label format will be determined based upon your recipe and available area on your packaging. Also available are Bilingual, Aggregate and Supplement Facts labels. Custom label sizes can be created to fit your packaging needs. Labels are available in English, Spanish or French (dual/bilingual). Australian, UK and New Zealand formats are also available.
On May 20, 2016, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) finalized significant changes to food, beverage, and supplement labeling, including updates to daily values, serving sizes, the Nutrition Facts chart, and more. Manufacturers have 2 years to comply, however, manufacturers with less than $10 million in annual food sales have an additional year to comply.
What changes have been made?
The changes affect the label content, format and appearance. Adjustments are made to Serving Size reflecting modern typical consumption patterns. Revised Daily Values for certain nutrients that are either mandatory or voluntary. Examples include calcium, sodium, dietary fiber, potassium and vitamin D. Calories from Fat are eliminated, while more attention is placed on total Calories. See below illustration indicating label changes compared to previous label.
When will these changes go into effect?
The new rules became effective on July 26, 2016. Manufacturers will need to use the new label by July 26, 2018. However, manufacturers with less than $10 million in annual food sales will have an additional year to comply.
What should I do now?
Learn how your products have been affected by the changes and determine a timeline for updating your product labeling based on the FDA compliance deadline. Forecast bulk printing for labels to ensure good use of current label stock, while waiting for large print runs until after the updated label artwork can be implemented on existing package artwork. Work towards incrementally changing existing recipe nutritional values and creating your newly designed Nutrition Facts labels.
Where can I get more information?
The FDA’s website is the best place to get up-to-date specific information regarding the proposed changes, as well as detailed information regarding how the changes may affect your product labeling.
