FDA 21 CFR 101.9 Nutrition Labeling Vitamin Analysis
The FDA's 21 CFR 101.9 regulation mandates the accurate labeling of vitamins in food and dietary supplements to ensure consumers are informed about the nutritional content. Compliance with this regulation is essential for maintaining regulatory compliance and ensuring consumer trust.
Our laboratory provides comprehensive vitamin analysis services under FDA 21 CFR 101.9, focusing on ensuring that all vitamin claims made on nutrition labels are accurate and reliable. Our service covers a wide range of vitamins including A, C, D, E, K, B-complex vitamins, and others.
Our approach ensures precise measurement and quantification using validated methods to provide the most accurate results possible. This is crucial for maintaining regulatory compliance and ensuring consumer trust in your products.
| Applied Standards | Instruments Used |
|---|---|
| ASTM E1253-16 | HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) |
| ISO 17025:2017 | DHPLC (Dual Pump HPLC) |
| IUPAC Guidelines for Analytical Chemistry | Spectrophotometry |
The precision and accuracy of vitamin analysis are critical to the success of your products. Our laboratory uses state-of-the-art instruments such as HPLC, DHPLC, and spectrophotometers that are regularly calibrated to ensure consistent results.
Our team of experts ensures that all samples are prepared meticulously, using best practices for sample handling and storage to prevent any degradation or contamination that could affect the accuracy of the analysis. Our methodologies comply with international standards such as ASTM E1253-16 and ISO 17025:2017.
Once the samples are analyzed, we provide detailed reports that include all relevant information about the vitamin content in your products. This includes not only the amounts of each vitamin present but also any potential discrepancies between the actual levels and those stated on the product labels.
We also offer additional services such as stability studies to help you understand how long your vitamins remain stable under various conditions, which is vital for ensuring that the nutritional claims made on your products are accurate over time. Stability testing can provide valuable insights into the shelf life of your products and helps in formulating effective quality assurance programs.
Understanding the vitamin content in food items is crucial not only from a regulatory perspective but also because it impacts public health directly. Accurate labeling ensures that consumers make informed decisions about their dietary choices, which ultimately contributes to better overall health outcomes.
