Laboratory Nutritional Analysis With EMSL Analytical, Inc. EMSL Analytical, Inc offers Laboratory based Nutritional analysis compliant with FDA Labeling Laws. Laboratory based nutritional analysis methods require a physical sample of the product(s) be sent to the laboratory. The samples are then prepped and analyzed in the laboratory using various scientific instruments and techniques to yield data that is specific and unique to the product. Laboratory based nutritional analysis can be used for virtually any food type. This method can be used when:

- General Nutritional Labeling needs - Validating manufacturer / supplier nutritional information - Validating data generated from software based database analysis - Product contains unique or exotic ingredients or processing techniques - Analyzing food for animals (pet foods and agricultural feeds) - Accurate nutrient per 100g values are needed for CofA’s or Database inclusion

Reports will feature values per 100g and per serving size (when provided) of the product. Where applicable, % RDI and % DV values will also be provided. Additional voluntary nutrients, vitamins and minerals are available – please inquire. Laboratory Based Nutritional Analysis for Mandatory Nutrients Include:

Food Sample Packaging and Shipment Guidelines EMSL Analytical, Inc When shipping samples to the laboratory for analysis please use the following guidelines:

♦ Submit adequate amount of sample. ♦ Contact your EMSL Sales Representative or analyzing laboratory for

specifics. Insufficient sample amount will lead to delays in analysis.

♦ Submit samples in sealed packaging or containers ♦ Package in such a way as to prevent samples from leaking, spilling,

breaking, or otherwise compromise the integrity of the samples

♦ Include a completed Chain of Custody with samples ♦ In a separate plastic bag, to ensure it doesn’t get wet or damaged

♦ Ship samples in a cooler, with ice packs, for overnight delivery to the

analyzing laboratory ♦ Do not use ice cubes ♦ Do not use dry ice, unless specifically instructed

♦ Identify sample type on the outside of the package simply by clearly

noting “FOOD SAMPLE” ♦ This will ensure that the sample gets to the proper department upon

receipt, and notify receiving staff to institute proper food sample handling procedures.

Improper packaging during shipment may compromise the quality and integrity of laboratory generated data. EMSL Analytical, Inc reserves the right to reject

samples if sample integrity or staff safety is in question.
