Qualitative and/or Quantitative test. Results will be grouped and assessed according to the brand of ELISA kit used. Thus limited data may preclude assessment of small categories.
The EU Food Information for Consumers Regulation No.1169/2011 lists 14 food allergens that must always be labelled in pre-packed and non-prepacked foods. Lupin is one of the allergens in this list and is found in many products. Lupin flour and seeds can be used in some types of bread, pastries and even in pasta.
Lupin flour has been known to induce strong allergic responses even in low quantities. As such it is important to achieve accurate testing within Lupin flour, to low levels of detection.
Fapas proficiency tests use real food matrices to provide directly comparable insights into your current testing arrangement. This allows you to take precise and timely actions to improve your overall testing ability, or address potential areas of concern.
Proficiency tests are also extremely useful to identify any unconscious bias that may go unnoticed, such as over quantifying analytes. This can lead to unwarranted product recalls, with negative financial implications.
It is important that consumers with food allergies or intolerances are able to make informed choices when choosing products; by taking part in this test you are ensuring an independent verification of your testing procedures to comply with regulation. Results will be grouped and assessed according to the brand of ELISA kit used. Thus limited data may preclude assessment of small categories of data.
