Why Nutrition Analysis Matters
Accurate Nutrition Data Starts with Proper Food Testing
Nutrition information needs to be based on reliable data.
Lab analysis helps determine the nutritional composition of your product, which can be used to support the preparation of the Nutrition Information Panel.
Accurate nutrition information helps reduce costly label revisions and builds consumer trust.
- Supports compliant food labelling
- Reduces risk of label revisions
- Builds consumer trust
- Helps with nutrition claims
A nutrition analysis report provides data for your Nutrition Information Panel. Foodipedia can also help with label compliance, claims and packaging artwork.

Foodipedia can help assess whether additional testing is needed and how the results support your food label.
Planning to Use Nutrition Claims?
Claims such as low fat, sugar free, source of fibre or high protein should be supported by suitable nutrition data and reviewed against applicable requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is nutrition facts analysis?
Nutrition facts analysis is laboratory testing performed to determine the nutritional composition of a food product. The results provide nutritional values that can be used to support the preparation of a Nutrition Information Panel for your food product.
Why does my food product need nutrition analysis?
Nutrition analysis provides reliable nutritional data for your food product. It can help food businesses prepare accurate nutrition information, support applicable nutrition claims and reduce the risk of making changes to packaging after printing.
What nutrients are tested in the nutrition analysis?
The standard nutrition analysis covers seven key nutritional parameters: Energy, Protein, Fat, Carbohydrate, Total Sugar, Sodium and Total Dietary Fibre. The applicable testing parameters may vary depending on your product and requirements.
How much food sample is required for testing?
The current sample requirement is a minimum of 200 g for solid food and 200 ml for liquid food per product item. Foodipedia can advise you on the applicable sample requirements when arranging your nutrition analysis.
How long does nutrition analysis take?
The estimated turnaround time is 10–15 working days after the laboratory receives your food sample. The actual timeframe may depend on the testing requirements and laboratory processing.
What format will I receive the nutrition analysis report in?
The nutrition analysis results are provided in a PDF laboratory report and sent to you by email. The report contains the nutritional values obtained from testing your food product.
Can I test frozen food products?
Yes, food products can be submitted for nutrition analysis. Contact Foodipedia with your product details before sending your sample so we can advise on the applicable testing requirements and sample handling.
Is the laboratory accredited?
Nutrition analysis is carried out by a laboratory that is accredited or recognised by ILAC-MRA, FSQD MOH, and NPRA MOH. Foodipedia can provide the applicable laboratory and accreditation information when arranging your nutrition analysis.
Can the nutrition analysis results be used for my nutrition facts label?
The laboratory results provide the nutritional data needed to support preparation of your nutrition facts label. Foodipedia can also assist with interpreting the results and preparing nutrition information as part of your food labelling requirements.
Do I need nutrition analysis before printing my food packaging?
It is recommended to obtain the relevant nutrition information before finalising and printing your food packaging. Having the nutritional data available early can help reduce the risk of incorrect information and costly packaging revisions.
Can imported food products use overseas nutrition facts?
Imported food products may have existing overseas nutrition information, but it should be checked for suitability for the Malaysian market. Foodipedia can help assess the available nutrition information and advise whether additional testing or adjustments may be required.
Do I need testing if my supplier already has a nutrition report?
Not necessarily. The existing supplier report should first be reviewed to determine whether it provides the required nutritional information for your product and can support your intended Malaysian food label. Foodipedia can help assess the report and advise on the next step.
Can Foodipedia help prepare my nutrition facts label?
Yes. Foodipedia can provide support beyond laboratory testing, including nutrition information and food label compliance guidance. If you need help with your complete food label, you can also explore our Food Label Compliance service.
