Test Description
Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) allergen testing is used to detect and measure specific allergenic proteins in food samples, supporting effective allergen risk management. The testing can be used to verify cleaning processes, assess allergen control measures, and support accurate product labelling. By targeting allergenic proteins using highly specific antibodies, ELISA provides meaningful insight into allergen presence, supporting product safety and regulatory compliance.
