Thank you for your interest in the University's educational assistance with your new food product. From the above links you will find information on how to have your product tested and on how to obtain a nutritional facts panel.When we test samples, we classify the food by how it is to be preserved. This classification determines the process and regulatory requirements specifically for your product.
Many samples are preserved by their acidity. We classify these products as acid foods or acidified foods. This depends on the pH and proportion of individual ingredients and the final equilibrium pH of the product. Others are preserved by alternative means such as dehydration, refrigeration or fermentation.Nutritional facts panels are not legally required for most small producers. However, they are requested by many distributors and customers.
If you have questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to call us at 919-513-2090.
