Qualitative and/or Quantitative test. Two test materials will be provided. 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. Peanut is one of the allergens in this list and is found in many products.
With the potentially harmful effects when consumed by those allergic, foods with a risk of peanut contamination require effective testing procedures to highlight and control any potential contamination or general high levels within foodstuffs.
To achieve the accurate testing ability required, Fapas proficiency tests can be used to highlight any potential deficiencies within your testing processes that may need to be addressed. Through the use of real food matrices, such as chocolate in this case, Fapas test results can be immediately comparable to your routine testing activities. This allows you to make swift and informed decisions to achieve high quality testing for peanuts across a range of testing environments.
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.
