Protect Your Facility from Allergen Cross-Contamination

34% of 2024 food recalls in the U.S. were due to undeclared allergens*

*FSNS, Food Recalls in 2024: Revealing the Statistics (fsns.com)

Undeclared food allergen recalls are among the most frequent, and most damaging recall drivers in the food industry. Recalls are frequently driven by unintended cross-contact of food products with allergens, stemming from insufficient or inadequate controls. 

Different countries have established different lists of priority allergens, based on global and regional research. The FDA has prioritized the Big 9 (milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame) as allergens of highest concern. Health Canada and the European Union Food Information Council (FIC) also include other substances as priority allergens, such as mustard.


Neogen helps facilities move from reactive troubleshooting to predictable, preventative control with tools designed to detect risks early, and keep product moving. Our solutions support you in: 
 

  • Verifying cleaning to help production proceed smoothly 
  • Identifying potential cross-contact with onsite detection 
  • Checking ingredient integrity before use in your process 
  • Developing allergen control programs with trackable, actionable results 
  • Supporting efforts to align with regulatory and customer expectations

Lateral Flow Testing Solutions

Neogen Lateral Flow Tests streamline your process and simplify your allergen testing for rapid on-site monitoring of target food allergens in a wide range of finished products, ingredients, environmental samples, and clean-in-place (CIP) rinses.

These  Rapid Protein and Reveal® 3-D allergen test kits  are simple, easy-to-use lateral flow devices. They screen for the presence of low levels of allergens on environmental swabs, CIP rinses, and validated ingredients and product matrices, while our innovative overload line alerts you to possible false negatives due to high amounts of target protein in a sample.

  • Fast results – Time to result in 6–11 minutes
  • Backed by experts – AOAC PTM & GFCO certifications*
  • Low limits of detection – Sensitivity, specificity, and consistency
  • Versatile applications – Surfaces, CIP rinse water, ingredients, and food products
  • Trusted science – Over 2,800 matrix verifications completed
  • Hook line assurance – Increase confidence against false negatives

Vérifier la propreté avec un test de surface des protéines

Les résidus restants sur les surfaces indiquent un mauvais nettoyage et pourraient contenir des protéines potentiellement allergènes, ce qui pourrait entraîner une contamination du produit.

La protéine de surface® trace Neogen® Clean-Trace (Allergène) est une méthode simple pour vérifier l’élimination des résidus de protéines non spécifiques après le nettoyage. Comme la majorité des allergènes sont des protéines, un résultat protéique négatif indique que les allergènes protéiques ont été efficacement traités.

  • Résultats en seulement 15 minutes – Agir vite avec des résultats clairs et fiables
  • Visibilité immédiate – Clarté en temps réel pour une action corrective rapide
  • Aucun souci de rangement – Prêt à température ambiante, pas besoin de réfrigération
  • Conçu pour votre programme – Parfait pour des plans de vérification contre les allergènes
  • Détection très sensible – Trouve aussi peu que 3 μg de protéines allergènes sur les surfaces

Require Testing for a Specific Allergen?

Select from Neogen’s validated test kits for the most common food allergens. Each kit delivers the precision and reliability you need.

Reveal® Q+ for Histamine test kit tube resting diagonally on white geometric display blocks, with teal accent label and “contains 25 tests” visible on packaging.

Looking for histamine?

While not a food allergenic protein, histamine is a compound that creates an immune response in individuals. Foods containing high levels of histamine, such as from the decomposition of histidine in seafood products may pose a food safety risk when consumed.
