Review the finished gummy, not only the raw ingredient
A raw-ingredient specification does not by itself answer how the finished gummy should be labeled or stored. Discuss the testing approach, claim timing and supporting stability information for the proposed product and package.
Agree what the sample review will assess: flavor, texture, appearance, serving presentation and packaging. Keep these observations separate from the evidence needed for viable-count and shelf-life claims.
The NIH guidance notes that a higher CFU number alone does not establish a greater benefit. Avoid selecting a product only because its headline count is larger.
