How does the FDA react to the computerized analysis method?
As a matter of fact, the FDA and the USDA encourage the use of data bases as cost effective alternatives to lab analyses. What is important is that the statement on the label reflects the real composition of the product. The method used for the analysis is not important. Comparisons between data calculated with properly prepared data bases and data obtained from laboratory analyses show that results obtained from data bases are often better indicators of the nutritional elements in the product than one or two laboratory analyses.
