Nutritional analysis of food (EU 1169/2011) (BIG 8 - including dietary fiber)

The nutrition declaration should appear on the label of most packaged foodstuffs. Food Information Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 defines what information must appear on the label.

In this nutritional analysis package, the following parameters will be determined:

• Moisture

• Ash

• Total fat (solvent extraction following acid hydrolysis)

• Fatty acid composition (including sum parameter for saturated fat, more detailed parameter list available upon request)

• Protein (Kjeldahl method)

• Sugar profile (HPLC-PAD method) including fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, sucrose

• Dietary fiber (high molecular weight dietary fiber, method based on AOAC 991.43)

• NaCl calculated from sodium (Na) (ICP method)

• Calculated carbohydrate and energy content

The analytical methods and their accreditation status may vary depending on the specific food matrix. For dietary fiber, methods to include soluble dietary fiber are also available, such as methods based on AOAC 2017.16.
