Nutrition analysis

I have a lab lined up for submitting my samples next week... But foodproductlaunch has me thinking....  Does the analysis have to be done by a lab in the state where you are establishing a business?  I could just as easily ship my samples to Alaska versus doing it in Connecticut.  My guess is that it doesn't matter as long as it is a creditable lab.

Most, if not all, of the analysis for nutrition labels and ingredient statements is done through software. 
 
The Almond Board of California keeps a list of those companies who are valid Food Processing Authorities.  They are the ones that issue the letters for shelf life stability and processing steps and procedures required by the gov't.

I know Deibel Labs also specifies whether you must submit FDA form 2541 for your product.

This is a non-comprehensive list.

This link is from a Label Company website, but it has a lot of links for where to get NIPs done by labs or generating one yourself.

Here's a free one from New Zealand.  It works really well, easy to input recipe ingredients......Only catch is...it's metric.  I've actually worked up a few recipes and it worked pretty slick.  All my recipes are by weight anyway, so it was not that big of a deal to convert to grams etc when inputting the ingredients.  When it's completed, you just have to convert the jules to calories. and ml to oz.  There's online converters for that also.
