Comprehensive Guide to Food Industry Validation of Allergen Testing Kits per AOAC Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

The food industry is subject to various regulations and standards that govern the safety and quality of food products. The European Union, for example, has implemented Regulation (EU) 2015/2283, which sets out requirements for the safety assessment of genetically modified foods. Similarly, the US FDA has established guidelines for the safety evaluation of food additives.

The AOAC International laboratory testing service is a widely recognized and accepted standard for validating allergen testing kits in the food industry. The AOAC method 2019.01, Microbiological Examination of Ready-to-Eat Foods, provides a framework for the validation of allergen testing kits using a matrix-based approach.

The ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard is widely recognized as the international standard for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. This standard requires laboratories to demonstrate their ability to produce accurate and reliable test results.

The European Accreditation (EA) scheme is an internationally recognized accreditation body that provides certification to laboratories that meet the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2017. Eurolab, as a laboratory testing service provider, is accredited by EA and demonstrates its commitment to quality and competence in laboratory testing.

The food industry requires accurate and reliable testing for allergens to ensure product safety and compliance with regulatory requirements. The AOAC method 2019.01 provides a framework for the validation of allergen testing kits using a matrix-based approach.
