4.2 - FACTORY TRIALS (BASE)

  • The site must undertake and document factory trials and complete thorough testing to verify product formulation and manufacturing processes are capable of producing safe and legal products.

  • The site must have a development handover process that ensures that approved development formulations and packaging materials are correctly transferred to manufacturing for the first production run and that the specification is consistently achieved.

4.3 - SHELF LIFE TESTING (BASE)

  • Shelf life must be established through testing.

  • As a minimum this must include: - product formulation<br>- microbiological growth - packaging process and material - factory environment - subsequent storage conditions - likely consumer use - temperature stability

  • Records must be retained.

4.4 - NUTRITIONAL TESTING (BASE)

  • Nutritional testing must be carried out and checked against proposed product label and specification prior to launch.

  • Manual calculations can be used in some instances; however this must be agreed by your Customer Technical contact.

4.6 - PACKAGING PERFORMANCE (BASE)
