What is Big-8 Analysis?
The Big 8 refers to the eight core nutritional components that are mandatory for nutrition labeling under EU Regulation 1169/2011: energy, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sugars, protein, salt (sodium), and dietary fiber. These nutrients provide essential information for consumers and ensure that your product complies with legal requirements throughout the EU and UK.

Measuring is Knowing
The Big-8 Analysis is a comprehensive nutritional testing package that allows you to thoroughly assess your product for all legally required parameters. By accurately measuring your product, you gain reliable and objective results that can be directly used to create your product label. This analysis is especially valuable for Nutri-Score optimization, substantiating nutritional claims, and ensuring regulatory compliance.

1. Energy value
2. Fat
3. Fatty acids
4. Carbohydrates
5. Sugars
6. Dietary fiber
7. Protein
