The frequency of recurrence of people with food allergies continues to grow and poses a threat to food manufacturers. The challenge is to reduce or eliminate the risk of an undeclared food allergy being present in your product; Meanwhile, the opportunity relates to marketing for certain products that are safe for allergic individuals. The need for reliable and accurate allergen tests is high.

Cross-contamination of allergen-free products with allergen-containing products is one reason why proactive food producers have developed allergen control programs (ACP) that formalize risk-reduction strategies associated with food allergens.

Neogen® is a leader in food allergy diagnosis and offers a range of food allergen test kits that fit any ACP. Neogen's food allergen tests and allergen glands can detect ingredients, liquids, floor cleaners, finished foods and target allergens on environmental surfaces, allow you to scan ingredients, remove allergenic substances and verify your facility's cleaning schedule.
