Test Description

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.  Milk is one of the allergens in this list and is found in many products.  Milk has many markers of detection, this test is based on BLG levels. Hydrolysed products provide an additional challenge for allergens detection, in that the proteins become partially denatured.

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 results.

Highlighting potential contamination or adulteration in foodstuffs is important, especially within allergens owing to the potentially harmful reactions caused when consumed by some susceptible people. Being able to highlight and correct these potential contaminants requires extensive quality control measures, with accurate testing abilities needed to ensure food safety across large amounts of foodstuffs.

Fapas proficiency tests utilise real food samples within their test materials, giving directly comparable results to your current routine testing arrangement. By using matrices such as real infant soya formula your laboratories can be challenged in the same way they are within routine testing activities, giving true to life proficiency test results.
