• Customized Testing Strategy: Design tailored protocols based on the specific allergen profile of your facility, including peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, soy, gluten, shellfish, and eggs.
• Selection of Detection Methods: Choose from validated methods such as ELISA, PCR, and LFD based on sensitivity, product matrix, and regulatory requirements.
• Regulatory Compliance: Align allergen control and testing procedures with standards from FSSAI, FDA, EU Food Information Regulation (FIR), and Codex Alimentarius.
• Cross-Contact Risk Reduction: Implement zoning strategies, cleaning validation, and raw material segregation practices to prevent unintentional allergen presence.
• Label Accuracy Assurance: Verify “free-from” and precautionary allergen labeling through routine testing and documentation.
• Training & SOP Development: Provide technical training and detailed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for allergen sampling, testing, and result interpretation.
• Audit Preparedness: Ensure readiness for third-party audits or regulatory inspections with complete allergen risk management documentation.
