A collection of basic knowledge specialized in food allergen testing for nut-related businesses!
The increase in the number of cases has brought attention to "tree nut food allergies." In the food allergen labeling system, it is planned that by the fiscal year 2025, the labeling of cashew nuts will become mandatory, and the labeling of pistachios will be recommended. Additionally, in many countries and regions abroad, tree nuts are often included in the list of food allergens that must be labeled, which may require compliance when exporting food products. In light of this background, our company has created a collection of basic knowledge for those involved in food quality management and assurance. This knowledge collection covers not only the basic information regarding tree nut food allergen labeling but also introduces ELISA method kits, including those from overseas, presents analysis results of food reactivity, and provides information on test items and methods that can be contracted, all of which will be useful when creating testing plans. 【Table of Contents】 - The environment surrounding tree nut food allergies - Food allergen labeling system and testing methods - How to choose tree nut food allergen tests - Summary of tree nut food allergen testing methods

Applications/Examples of results
Example 1: After manufacturing beverage products using almonds as a raw material, another product is produced. To verify the cleaning effect, we want to confirm whether almonds remain in the line cleaning water. Additionally, based on the notification method concept, we hope to conduct screening tests (ELISA method) and confirmation tests (PCR method). (Soft drink manufacturing industry) ⇒ The test was conducted using the ELISA method. Since the result was "not detected," it was determined that confirmation testing was unnecessary. Example 2: For products planned for export overseas, testing for food allergens "hazelnuts," "pistachios," and "pecans" was requested. Since it is necessary to submit the test results overseas, we would also like an English translation of the report to be issued. (Bread and confectionery manufacturing industry) ⇒ Testing was conducted using the ELISA method for the specified three items. The test results will be reported in both Japanese and English (additional fees apply).
