Using customer specifications for your Nutritional Information Panel testing
You can also use your own customer specifications to meet your organisation's unique requirements. This might be useful, for example, if you wish to include other tests to support particular marketing or health claims such as vitamin content or "low fat".
To set up your specs with us we need the following:
- Prior to sending any new samples to us for testing (ideally two weeks prior) provide a spec for the sample(s) so that we can have it setup and ready to use before you need it.
- If preferable a copy of your current internal specs document can be used.
- If you do not have your specs documented internally feel free to use our template (available for download at the bottom of this article)
- Whenever there is a spec change, please notify us so we can update to your latest version and archive the previous version.
- Think about including this as early as possible in your Change Management process.
