Beginning Nov 9, 2023, Eurofins will offer Allulose testing as an additional component of its primary sugar profile analysis, at no additional charge to its customers.
Allulose, a popular and highly sought-after sugar alternative, has historically required specialized testing. However, our commitment to providing the most comprehensive and cost-effective nutritional analysis services has led to this innovative change.

- No Added Cost: Eurofins Madison is proud to offer this enhancement without any increase in testing fees, ensuring that customers can access this valuable information at no extra expense.
Why Allulose Matters:
Allulose recognized for its low-calorie content and minimal impact on blood sugar levels, is a preferred sugar alternative for individuals and food manufacturers seeking healthier options. FDA is exercising enforcement discretion to exclude Allulose from declarations of both Total Sugars and Added Sugars.
Its inclusion in the sugar profile analysis ensures that customers have a comprehensive understanding of their product's sugar composition for what does and does not need to be declared as sugars and for the purposes of accurate calorie claims and more complete carbohydrate characterization.
