E. Stability Tests (Flavor and vitamin A stability)

(1) When used for fortifying wheat flour at the target level of 1662 IU per 

pound of vitamin A (366 IU per 100 grams), the premix preparation 

containing all the micronutrients to be added shall contribute no offflavoring or odor to the dry mix, or to the cooked products prepared 

from the fortified flour. Iron may be added only as Sodium Iron 

EDTA.

(2) The Vitamin A shall have been tested by the vitamin manufacturer 

and premix manufacturer to assure stability of the vitamin A. 

 1

 The requirements of this section will be deemed to have been met if reasonable overages of the vitamins and 

minerals, within the limits of good manufacturing practice are present.

2 These limiting values are on a 14.0 percent moisture basis.

3 Vitamin A palmitate (stabilized) shall be added in encapsulated form containing 250,000 IU Vitamin A 

palmitate/g. Particle size shall comply with the requirement that at least 98 percent will pass through a U.S. 

Standard No. 50 sieve, at least 90 percent through a U.S. Standard No. 60 sieve and at least 45 percent through a 

U.S. Standard No. 100 sieve. The product shall be not less than 95 percent of the all-trans isomer as determined by 

the USP assay procedure. Flour shall not be sifted through a cloth after vitamin supplementation which would 

remove Vitamin A palmitate. The Vitamin A palmitate shall have storage stability such that not more than 20 

percent of its original activity will be lost when stored for 21 days at 45 ̊ C in a sealed container at a target level of 

11,000 IU per pound in wheat flour having a moisture content in the range of 13.5 to 14.5 percent.
WFBF7 Page 3

The flour shall be fortified with the micronutrient premix preparation 

to be tested to the target level of 1662 IU per pound of vitamin A. The

fortified flour will be stored in 8-ounce, round glass bottles 

approximately 2-1/4 inches by 5 inches tall provided with plastic 

screw caps having polyvinyl liners with pulp packing. Between 110 

and 120 gm of fortified flour are placed in each bottle leaving about 

one inch head space, the lids are tightened, and the upper portion of 

the bottle and the complete lid are coated with paraffin by inverting 

and dipping in a bath of melted wax to prevent moisture loss.

(3) Bottles are stored at 45 ̊ C for 21 days and assayed for Vitamin A, using a 

minimum sample size of 25 grams of each determination. Loss is 

determined by assaying in duplicated three bottles of flour before and after 

storage.

(4) Analysis of concentrates and of original and stored blends will be carried 

out by the following method: Carr-Price Blue Color Method, Methods of 

Vitamin Assay, Association of Vitamin Chemists, Inc., and Interscience 

Publishers, Inc., New York (1951).

(5) A given lot of Vitamin A does not require retesting unless its potency as 

determined by the USP XVII analytical procedure has fallen below the 

manufacturer’s label claim for the product.

Section 1.2 QUALITY ASSURANCE

A. The contractor shall perform the product testing and quality analysis to ensure 

that the product meets the commodity specifications. The results shall be 

evidenced by a Certificate of Analysis (COA). Copies of the original COA 

must be submitted as part of the invoice package.

B. As a minimum, the contractor will test each production lot for Vitamin A 

and Iron (as long as the COA from the micronutrient pre-blend supplier 

indicates the appropriate amount of each nutrient is present in the preblend); protein; moisture; falling number; and vomitoxin. 

C. The government reserves the right to perform verification testing for all 

requirements specified in 1.1.D. but will routinely test for only Vitamin A; 

Iron; protein; moisture; falling number; and vomitoxin. If quality 

discounts are provided in the contract, and the product to be delivered by the 

contractor falls within the quality discount table, those factors shall be 

identified by an asterisk on the copies of the COA.

D. Contractors shall notify the Government immediately of lots that fail to meet 

contract requirements.

E. Unless otherwise specified, test methods for the finished product, and any 

ingredients therein, shall be those of the AOAC INTERNATIONAL, the 

American Association of Cereal Chemists (AACC), or the American Oil 

Chemists’ Society (AOCS), as applicable and in effect on the date of issuance 
WFBF7 Page 4

of the solicitation, or in accordance with methods that give equivalent results.

Section 1.3 QUALITY DISCOUNTS

If the product to be delivered by the contractor does not meet the quality specifications 

set forth herein, but falls within the discounts listed, the product may be delivered, but the
