Vitamins, minerals, enzymes, additives, flavors, and colors…all food must be labeled with the exact components and amounts. Contaminants or allergens — it is vital that you know what other elements are present.
From anchovies to zucchini, and every food between, EMSL has a laboratory near you that specializes in chemical testing for food; assurance that your product is safe for all consumers.
