Collapse ▲The Entrepreneurial Program offers two primary services:
SERVICE A: Product Testing & Processing Recommendations
We will analyze a shelf-stable product sample and classify it (acid, acidified, water activity controlled (low-moisture), or other) according to Federal and State regulations. We will provide processing recommendations for Acid and Acidified foods.
Foods other than shelf-stable acid/acidified foods may be tested and provided a Letter stating the pH and water activity of the sample. This information can be used for further product development or as a data point for regulatory agencies.
SERVICE B: Nutritional Information
We use a Nutrition Database to input a product formulation and provide a Nutrition Facts Panel and Ingredient Statement for food products.
The FDA 2016 Nutrition Label requirements (new label format) will be required as of January 1, 2020, for manufacturers with $10 million or more in annual sales. The date for compliance is January 1, 2021, for manufacturers with less than $10 million in annual sales. For more information regarding Compliance Dates and Label requirements, see the FDA labeling Guidance.
For us to be able to provide the new label format, it will be necessary for the client to provide the Mandatory Nutrients on a 100-gram basis for each ingredient. View the list of Mandatory Nutrients.
Process for Submission:
Fill out & submit the Online Request Form. The form will ask for your basic contact information, formulation for a batch of your product, and current product processing information. Please do not send any samples until we have contacted you.
Once you submit the Online Request Form, we will review your Online Request Form & reply with information on the next steps, including how to send a sample and the quantity needed.
