Hi everyone,

i'm trying to create nutritional labels under USDA regulation for dry cured ham, sliced.

 

Where can i find data to use as nutrients (calories, fat, protein ecc) ? I know "food data central" but are those data accepted by usda?

Otherwise, can I use techical data sheet provided by the supplier? What if I have different suppliers who provide for dry cured ham?

 

Can anyone explain to me how this works in the U.S under USDA regulation?

 

My process involve only slicing.

You could use a nutritional panel or 100 gram from the supplier.   Have you compared the nutritional information from your different suppliers?  Are they different?

 

Do they differ from the USDA database.  

 

Having the product tested is always recommended initially are at intervals afterwards.  

 

You may want to contact a third party label creation company that has experieince in USDA labels.   they can help you through process.
