Detection of Allergens
The prevalence of food allergies and intolerances in the general population has been estimated to be around 1-3% in adults and 4-6% in children(Source: EFSA, European Food Safety Authority).
With the EU Directives 2003/89/EC, 2005/26/EC and 2006/142/EC food manufacturers are obliged to indicate ingredients that cause allergies and intolerances on their product packaging.
We offer an extensive and growing range of allergen test systems based on molecular and immunological methods.
The following systems are available:
- Almond
- Celery
- Egg (via Ovalbumin)
- Gluten
- Hazelnut
- Lupin
- Milk (via β-lactoglobulin)
- Mustard
- Peanut
- Pistachio
- Rice
- Sesame
- Soybean
- Walnut
