Nutrition Labeling Services

AIB International's nutrition labeling program provides accurate nutrition profiles that fulfill FDA requirements at a fraction of the cost of laboratory analysis. AIB International has provided nutrition information for more than 63,000 different food products to more than 1,600 food processors since the inception of the program in 1993.

The Nutrition Labeling Service can construct nutrition profiles for individual serving size portions of food, which can be provided in a camera-ready format, or in non-rounded values based on 100 gram food portions for dietician or product development requirements.

Studies on various products have been conducted comparing values calculated by AIB International's program to values obtained from chemical analysis. The results demonstrate that the nutrition information provided by the AIB International program complies with the requirements of the NLEA and its associated regulations. These results have been shared with FDA.

AIB guarantees the absolute confidentiality of every formula submitted.

• Ingredient Statement Development

  AIB International can use information supplied for nutrition labeling to develop ingredient legend disclosures for all types of foods. Special provisions can be made for consolidated ingredient description of complex foods, or the special listings required for assortments of candies or specialty food items, as well as component labeling for certain unique foods.

• Allergen Disclosures

  Under the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004, all food labels must explicitly disclose in plain English the presence of any included major food allergen or their derivatives. AIB International has developed a new system to help ensure that the mandatory disclosure of these potentially life-threatening agents is properly presented within your food product label design.

• Label Compliance Reviews

  AIB International can assist clients to ensure that the various mandatory food labeling requirements found in the more than 1,500 pages of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations have been properly interpreted and applied in the design of their food packaging. Consulting with our staff when reviewing pre-production label design artwork will assure compliance in the placement and size of mandatory statements, completeness, accuracy, and appropriateness of the design content.

Sanction of Program by FDA Provides Peace of Mind

FDA sanctions the AIB nutrition program. If your product is selected for a nutrition audit and the results do not agree with the label, FDA will work with you and AIB International to resolve the issue prior to taking any compliance action.
