Laboratory performance on analysis of mandatory nutrients and preparation of nutrition labelling.

This study assessed the performance of 17 laboratories in Thailand in analysing mandatory nutrients in salted, fried broad bean and in using data to prepare nutrition labels. Nutrient levels in the test material, as robust mean (x(∗)) and robust standard deviation (s(∗)), were assigned in line with ISO 13528. Data obtained from the laboratories were statistically evaluated against these values.
