Food allergies are rising in children and adults, with severe reactions possible from even trace amounts. Analytical methods are crucial for controlling allergens and protecting consumers.

Area of Science:

  • Food Science
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Food allergies affect 1-2% of adults and 3-8% of children, with increasing incidence.
  • Common allergens include peanut, milk, eggs, tree nuts, and sesame, with potential for severe reactions from low concentrations.
  • Hidden allergens in food necessitate regulatory scrutiny and improved analytical testing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a combination of analytical approaches for controlling food allergen levels.
  • To provide accurate, timely, and cost-effective analytical information for food safety.
  • To support Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs and regulatory compliance.

Main Methods:

  • Review of various analytical methodologies for food allergen detection.
