Comprehensive Guide to EN ISO 21527 Quantitative Yeast and Mold Allergen Risk Testing Services Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

EN ISO 21527 is a comprehensive standard for the quantitative testing of yeast and mold allergens in food products. This standard provides detailed guidelines for laboratories conducting this type of testing, ensuring consistency and accuracy across different countries and regions.

Overview of Relevant Standards

  • ISO 21527: Quantitative determination of mycotoxins by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)

  • EN ISO 21527-1: Quantitative determination of yeast and mold allergens in food products

  • ASTM E2650-19: Standard practice for the analysis of mycotoxins in corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, rice, sorghum, sunflower seeds, and peanut butter by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)

  • TSE 1111: Quantitative determination of yeast and mold allergens in food products

    • Legal and Regulatory Framework

    The testing of yeast and mold allergens is governed by various regulations and standards worldwide. Some notable examples include:

  • The European Unions Food Safety Authority (EFSA) regulates the maximum permitted levels of mycotoxins in food products.

  • The United States FDA sets limits for aflatoxin M1 in milk and other dairy products.

  • The Codex Alimentarius Commission, established by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), provides guidelines for food safety standards.

    • International and National Standards

    EN ISO 21527 is an international standard that applies to all countries. However, some national standards may provide additional requirements or specifications:

  • USP: United States Pharmacopeia (USP) sets standards for food products.

  • JP: Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) regulates the testing of yeast and mold allergens in food products.

    • Standard Development Organizations

    Standard development organizations play a crucial role in creating and updating standards. Some notable examples include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

    • Why Standards Evolve and Get Updated

    Standards evolve to address new technologies, scientific discoveries, or changes in regulatory requirements. For example, the update of EN ISO 21527-1 introduced new methods for detecting yeast and mold allergens.

    Standard Numbers and Their Scope

    Here are some standard numbers and their scope:

  • ISO 21527: Quantitative determination of mycotoxins by HPLC

    The following test instrumentation is used for EN ISO 21527 Quantitative Yeast and Mold Allergen Risk Testing:

    1. HPLC Systems: High-performance liquid chromatography systems

    2. Mass Spectrometry: Mass spectrometry instruments (optional)

    Interpretation of Results

    Test results are interpreted according to the standard protocol, taking into account factors such as:

    1. Sensitivity and specificity: The accuracy and reliability of the test.

    2. Limit of detection (LOD): The lowest concentration at which yeast and mold allergens can be detected.

    3. Quantification: The amount of yeast and mold allergens present in food samples.

    Quality Control Measures

    To ensure accurate results, laboratories conducting EN ISO 21527 Quantitative Yeast and Mold Allergen Risk Testing must implement quality control measures:

    1. Calibration: Regular calibration of test instruments

    2. Validation: Validation of test methods using certified reference materials (CRMs)
