Nutritional Labelling Laboratory

Nutritional labelling plays a crucial role by providing essential information about the nutrients present in food products, thereby enhancing their value for consumers and businesses alike. Here are some key reasons why nutritional labelling is significant:

1. Consumer Awareness: Nutritional labelling educates consumers, helping them make informed decisions about their food choices.
2. Regulatory Compliance: Accurate nutritional testing and labelling are vital for government regulatory approval, ensuring that food products meet established safety standards.
3. Comparison Tool: Nutritional information on labels enables consumers to compare the nutritional content of different brands, aiding in the selection of healthier options.
4. Special Dietary Needs: Labels serve as an essential resource for consumers with specific dietary requirements, such as children, seniors, or those with allergies and intolerances (e.g., citrus, lactose).
5. Reference Daily Intake (RDI): The RDI is used to establish the Daily Value (DV) for nutrients displayed on nutrition facts labels (as % DV). The DV indicates the recommended daily intake of a nutrient for an average adult based on a 2,000-calorie diet, a standard chosen by the FDA that can vary according to factors like age, weight, height, and physical activity level.

As a global leader in food testing, FARE Labs conducts comprehensive label claim testing for all nutritional parameters. Following the implementation of the FDA Nutrition Labelling and Education Act (NLEA), the inclusion of nutritional facts on product labels has become mandatory for nearly all food products.
