AFL assists restaurant chains in meeting FDA’s Menu Labeling Requirements
Grand Prairie, Texas: The ever-changing update to ensure informed decisions are being made by consumers when it comes to meal choice is a step in the right direction for consumers but difficult for manufacturers and restaurants to keep labels and menus up to date. This has been further difficult for restaurants with the supply chain issues. That is why the FDA placed a hold on regulations going into effect on menu labeling requirements. That deadline is approaching.
AFL can perform the analytical chemistry needed to find nutrition facts on items, especially those that are cooked as the nutrients will change when cooked but also search databases when provided the full recipes. AFL is proud of their trained staff that can answer questions and assist in the ever-changing world of food nutritional requirements. Coupling that with the vast variety of services AFL can perform from:
- Cook studies
- Allergen testing
- Organoleptic testing
- Color, flavor, texture, etc.
- Shelf-life testing
- Nutrition fact panel
- Added sugar
CEO and President, Colleen Villanueva says,“When you select AFL as your third-party laboratory you aren’t just picking a vendor, you are choosing your partner. We do not treat clients as a number. When you give us a call you will directly speak to a live person sitting at the laboratory and are a transfer away from speaking with a manager that is directly overseeing your products testing.”
