While advanced technology often takes center stage in discussions about scientific accuracy, the age and preparation of samples are equally critical. By prioritizing the seemingly small details, researchers can ensure that their findings stand up to scrutiny and contribute meaningfully to scientific progress.
As the pet supplement market continues to expand, particularly in preventative care, accurate quantification of MSM has become essential. Manufacturers require robust analytical methods to ensure that label claims are substantiated and that formulations meet quality standards while complying with AAFCO ingredient definitions and state feed regulations.
When evaluating fiber testing approaches, it’s important to review how results differ across sample matrices tested by both the new and previous methods. More laboratories are implementing the Rapid Integrated Dietary Fiber Methods - AOAC Official Methods 2017.16 and 2022.01. The AOAC 2017.16 method measures the insoluble fiber fraction (IDF) and soluble fiber fraction that precipitates in 78% ethanol (SDFP) together, and separately measures the soluble dietary fiber not precipitated in 78% ethanol (SDFS) by HPLC.
In the competitive and highly regulated pet food industry, ingredient authenticity is more than a quality metric; it's a cornerstone of consumer trust and brand integrity. As demand for functional ingredients grows, so does the risk of adulteration. Manufacturers must be equipped with advanced testing strategies to safeguard their supply chains and ensure label claims are accurate.
The team at Eurofins Nutrition Analysis Center is proud to announce the launch of its new "Healthy" Claim Compliance Service designed to help food manufacturers navigate the FDA's updated criteria for the use of the term "Healthy" on food labels.
The Eurofins Nutrition Analysis Center in Des Moines, Iowa, is pleased to announce the launch of a specialized analytical method for Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) in pet chew supplements. This new capability supports the growing demand for validated testing in the pet supplement market, particularly in preventative joint health.
In this blog, Dan Brouman traces MAHA’s path since December 2024, when the MAHA Caucus launched in Congress. Brouman also discusses MAHA’s future and its effects on food policy.
In the world of dietary supplements and food testing, unexpected results like failed specifications, out-of-spec (OOS) results, or surprising contaminant detections can be unsettling, but they’re not uncommon. Here’s how to navigate the process when results don’t align with expectations.
When it comes to refrigerated and frozen foods, shelf-life testing isn’t just about timelines, it’s about protecting your brand, your label claims, and your consumer’s experience. In this Ask the Expert feature, Sam Wiesenfeld shares insights into the most common questions clients face when designing shelf-life testing protocols for refrigerated and frozen foods.
When it comes to dietary supplement testing, one seemingly small detail can have outsized consequences: specifying the correct vitamin form. Understanding and communicating the exact vitamin form in your product is not just a technical necessity, it’s a strategic imperative in ensuring accurate results, timely reporting, and regulatory compliance.
