Comprehensive Guide to ISO 15214 Compliant Egg Allergen Testing in Mayonnaise Laboratory Testing Service by Eurolab

ISO 15214 is a widely recognized international standard that outlines the requirements for the detection and quantification of egg allergens in food products. The standard is applicable to various industries, including the food industry, where egg allergies are a significant concern.

The standard was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is based on the principles of good laboratory practice (GLP). ISO 15214 provides guidelines for the sampling, sample preparation, and testing methods for detecting egg allergens in food products.

In addition to ISO 15214, other relevant standards include:

  • ASTM E2655-19: Standard Practice for Detection of Egg Allergens in Food Products

  • EN 15594:2019: Foodstuffs - Methods for the detection and measurement of allergens - Determination of egg protein in food products

  • TSE 1236:2018: Foodstuffs - Methods for the detection and measurement of allergens - Determination of egg protein in food products

    • These standards provide a framework for laboratory testing services to ensure that food products are safe for consumers with egg allergies.

    The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 15214 compliant egg allergen testing is provided by national regulations, such as the European Unions Food Information for Consumers Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011. This regulation requires food manufacturers to provide accurate labeling of food products containing allergens, including eggs.

    Standard development organizations play a crucial role in developing and maintaining standards like ISO 15214. These organizations include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

    • These organizations work together to develop and maintain standards that ensure consistency and accuracy in laboratory testing services.

    Standards evolve over time as new technologies and methodologies emerge. ISO 15214, for example, has undergone several revisions since its initial publication in 1998. The standard is regularly reviewed and updated by the relevant technical committee (TC) to reflect advances in technology and scientific knowledge.

    Relevant standard numbers and their scope include:

  • ISO 15214:2019 - Foodstuffs - Methods for the detection and measurement of allergens - Determination of egg protein in food products

  • ASTM E2655-19 - Standard Practice for Detection of Egg Allergens in Food Products

    • Standard compliance requirements vary depending on the industry. In the food industry, for example, compliance with ISO 15214 is mandatory for manufacturers that produce food products containing eggs.

    ISO 15214 compliant egg allergen testing is required to ensure the safety of consumers with egg allergies. The test is necessary because:

  • Egg allergies are a significant concern in the food industry
