Chemical & nutritional

It is essential to understand the chemical constituents of food, certain constituents can be highly regulated due to potential risks or benefits such as vitamins or additives, others such as the main nutrients are often required to be clearly labelled on many pre-packed goods.

At ALS we can provide a diverse range of chemical and nutritional analyses. Testing at ALS can be provided to meet the requirements of most regulatory jurisdictions, including USFDA, EU/UK, Australia and New Zealand, Asia, and South America. Laboratories offer nutrition facts for food labels, analyses for special diets, health claims and studies for substantial equivalence of biotech foods.
