Why Trust the Minds of Medallion?

Medallion Labs is a total resource for a reliable and accurate nutrition labeling program. Our nutritional component determinations are quick, precise and cost effective. In addition to standard nutrition label requirements, we can assay for specialty fibers, antioxidants and many other components.

Nutritional Facts Panel

For your convenience, Medallion has bundled all of the NLEA mandatory tests into one nutritional labeling package. Upon completion of the NLEA testing, you will receive a final report with results from each individual analysis. A mock nutrition facts panel can also be provided. If you are interested in a complimentary mock nutrition label for your product, please indicate your serving size in grams and check the box on our nutritional submission form. The label we provide is not photo ready for marketing or print purposes, but it gives you an instant snapshot of how the nutrients will report on your label.
