NUTRITIONAL ANALYSIS
With increasing legislation and consumer concerns on nutritional factors such as salt and fat content, it is recommended that nutritional information on packaging is confirmed by analytical techniques. Published data is based on averages and some cases limited data therefore it is essential to confirm the nutritional information prior to the generation of the label and to validate the information regularly by analysis for due diligence purposes.
Polucon offers an extensive range of nutritional testing from our East Africa facilities to assist food manufacturers and suppliers with:
| Group 1 and 2 nutritional labelling | Major minerals and trace elements |
| Meat content and added water | Rancidity |
| Carbohydrates | Vitamins |
| Trans fatty acids | Caffeine |
| Omega 3 fatty acids | Sweeteners, preservatives and other additives |
| Cholesterol | Allergens |
Polucon provides assistance to help businesses understand the complex labelling legislation and to check draft labels against the relevant regulations.
