Food allergy, an immune response to proteins present in food that the body mistakenly believes are harmful, is an important health problem of increasing concern in developed countries. Allergens are the largest cause of global product recalls, with the major risk for food manufacturers being the potential for cross-contamination with food allergens during production processes.

The aim of any food manufacturer‘s Food Allergen Management Program is to minimize this risk. An important tool in any allergen management plan is testing for the presence or, better yet, absence of allergens.

Are you a food manufacturer trying to gain knowledge about the potential allergens present in your products? Allergens are the most significant cause of global development recalls, leading to a great loss for your business.

To overcome that, you must get your products checked for possible allergens. For accurate allergen analysis, choose a good food safety lab for yourself.

Allergen Analysis

The food industry is an everyday, growing, multimillion-dollar industry. Because you are what you eat, food manufacturers must run some tests, including allergen analysis, microbiology analysis, potable water analysis, etc., before putting their products on the shelf.

Allergens cause allergic reactions and can vary from one individual to another. Allergies are your body's reaction to a normally harmless substance, but food manufacturers must highlight what potential allergens are present in the food products they manufacture.

Alliant food safety labs offer multiple allergen analyses and are recognized for their work in the food sector. Along with precision, our tests match the internationally set standard values.

Alliant Food Safety Labs Offers:

Risk Assessment

The unintentional presence of allergens due to factors like cross-contamination or wrong labeling is kept in mind. Thus, appropriate risk management measures are taken to reduce or eliminate the presence of allergens. Understanding these allergens helps assess risk factors and overcome them.

Minimize Risk Factors

Risk factors for allergic reactions can be minimized using our services. For example, Alliant food safety labs have specific tests to detect allergens and thus help create experimental designs to reduce those factors.

Identify the Presence of a Food Allergen

Through proper sample design and scientific knowledge regarding food allergens, our labs can pinpoint allergens.

Quantify the Presence of a Food Allergen

In most cases, the quantity at which the allergen is present holds more significance than its mere presence. This is due to the recommended allowance of that allergen that is permissible. Therefore, Alliant Food Safety Lab offers precise quantitative allergen analysis.

Consultation for Testing Programs

You need to know what specific tests are to be done to meet your requirements. For that, at Alliant food safety labs, we have trained biochemists, microbiologists, and food science experts to give you proper consultation on the testing services we provide.
