Accurate Analysis of Total Dietary Fibre:

Health Benefits of Dietary Fibre:

Consuming an adequate amount of dietary fibre has numerous health benefits. It is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, promotes bowel health, and aids in weight management. By accurately testing and labeling the dietary fibre content of their products, manufacturers contribute to the overall well-being of consumers and assist them in making healthier dietary choices.

Supporting Accurate Nutritional Labeling:

Precise nutritional labeling is crucial for consumers seeking to make informed choices about their food. Fitz Scientific's accredited Dietary Fibre testing method ensures accurate determination of dietary fibre content, allowing manufacturers to provide reliable information on their product labels.

Similarly, products can be claimed as "high in fibre" if they contain at least 6g of fibre per 100g, showcasing their significant contribution to a fibre-rich diet.
