Record Keeping
This is a requirement under the Food Safety Modernisation Act.
Generally, the records must be kept for nutrients for which analytical
methods are not available. Records may be analyses of databases,
recipes, formulations, batch records.
Records must show how the nutrient values were determined,
when product:
•
Has a mixture of fibers that meet and don’t meet the
definition of “dietary fibre”.
•
Has a mixture of naturally occurring sugars and those that
would be considered “added sugars”
•
Is subjected to non-enzymatic browning that result in
reduction of “added sugars”.
