The prevalence of people with food allergies continues to grow, presenting both a challenge and an opportunity for food manufacturers. The challenge is to reduce or eliminate the risk of an undeclared food allergen from being present in your product, while the opportunity rests with marketing specific products safe for allergic individuals. The need for reliable and accurate allergen tests is high.

Cross-contamination of allergen-free products with those that contain allergens is one reason proactive food producers develop allergen control programs (ACP), which formalize their strategy for reducing risk associated with food allergens

Monitoring for the presence and prevalence of mycotoxins is typically conducted at the point of grain receipt, during storage and prior to shipment. A strong screening program at the point of receipt can help the manager determine whether to accept the cargo, decline it or route it to a certain production type depending on mycotoxin levels.

In addition to mycotoxin test kits, Neogen also provides mycotoxin reference material (MRM) and proficiency testing programs that allow customers to evaluate and validate their mycotoxin testing procedures.
