Nutritional Labeling

Accurate nutritional testing is key to new product development. To ensure compliance with labeling regulations and retailer specifications, and to verify production quality control, OMIC USA can design (or create) a panel of nutritional testing to meet your needs.

Common Testing Questions

Please fill out a Sample Submission Form for your sample type. It is imperative that the form be included or emailed with the sample in order to begin testing. Sample entry and analysis will not begin until a completed Sample Submission Form is received.

Sample forms can be e-mailed to sales.us@omicusa.com.

Please contact us to discuss the quantity of sample needed for testing.

Each sample should be securely placed in an individual container and properly sealed to prevent any potential cross contamination or leakage. Samples that need refrigeration should be shipped in a cooler or insulated box on ice. Each sample should be visibly labeled and match the included submission form. Normal receiving hours are Monday-Friday, 8:30 am – 5:00 pm Pacific Time (after hours receipt may be scheduled in advance).
