I know everybody HATES the labelling topics, but bear with me and any advice would be appreciated.....
We sell our products in retail packs which contain full "Typical Values per 100g" nutrition values.The original testing was carried out many years ago, and it seems the original certificates have been lost in the sands of time.
Therefore I have recently began to retest our products for their nutritional values. While there have been no major changes, I am noticing a trend that values seem to be understated on the packaging. While we are not making any claims such as "low fat" or anything, does anyone know if there are standards for limits of variation or an actual definition of the term "typical values"? E.g. if my recent testing finds the energy to be within 10% of the figure stated on the pack, is it OK, or should I give the most wonderful news of a redesign to our printers which will end up in the breaking or more plates than a full sized Greek wedding.
I appreciate that the "correct" response is to carry out a range of nutrition testing and take the average and update the packaging, but my boss savagely beats me if I exceed my testing budget, and we have a wide range of products.
Thanks in advance.
