In today’s food, dietary supplement, and beverage industry, ensuring accurate sugar content in products is more important than ever. With increasing consumer awareness about nutrition and stricter regulatory requirements, companies must verify and control the levels of sugars present in their products. Sugar testing plays a vital role in maintaining product quality, meeting labeling regulations, and supporting claims such as “low sugar,” “no added sugar,” and “zero sugar.” This blog explores the different types of sugars and sweetener alternatives and considerations when submitting products for testing.
Setting Chemical Contaminant Specifications for Dietary Supplements: Navigating the CFR Requirements
Ensuring the safety and quality of dietary supplements is a cornerstone of regulatory compliance. Among the most critical steps in this process is establishing specifications for chemical contaminants. These contaminants, which can arise from raw materials, manufacturing processes, or environmental exposure, must be controlled to meet the standards outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). This guide is designed to assist manufacturers in establishing strong chemical contaminant specifications while ensuring regulatory compliance.
The demand for shelf-stable beverages continues to grow across categories, from juices and ready-to-drink teas to dairy-based and plant-based protein drinks.
