Testing for Allergens in Food
Conducting tests to detect specific food allergens serves as a crucial step in ensuring that a manufacturer can confidently affirm the absence of undeclared allergens in their products. Beyond compliance with regulatory standards, this testing plays a pivotal role in safeguarding a company’s reputation by minimizing the risk of costly product recalls and adverse publicity. The testing process extends to various stages, including the examination of the final product, swabs from equipment post-sanitation, and/or rinse water. These tests are instrumental in verifying the efficacy of cleaning procedures and pinpointing potential sources of cross-contamination. By proactively implementing allergen testing protocols, companies can not only uphold the safety and quality of their products but also fortify their brand image and mitigate risks associated with allergen-related issues.
