Analysis

Allergenen Consultancy provides rapid tests that can be carried out even without a company laboratory. Because the results are available quickly, these test kits are ideal for checking the cleaning performed, entry control or trouble shooting.

Report laboratory
analysisWe are happy to provide the analysis for allergens on each sample or sample. With ELISA and PCR analyses, but also with advanced techniques such as LC-MSMS, HPLC or DNA barcoding.
We assess the suitability of the analysis method for each application. As a result, no unnecessary analyzes are performed. In addition, we support the interpretation of results. Due to the large number of analyses, we offer favorable prices. Ask us for one quote.

Allergen risk calculation

More and more customers are asking for substantiation of cross-contamination with allergens. Retailers expect a quantitative allergen risk calculation (VITAL) before they (may contain) warnings on the label.

B2B is also increasingly being asked to quantify cross-contamination with allergens. Critical questions are asked throughout the chain and information about the possible allergen content is expected.

Allergenen Consultancy helps to map out the necessary data, make available a calculation tool and execution of the calculation. We make a detailed calculation together, which can also be uploaded into customer systems (SIM, TraceOne, etc.). 

Tailored advice and support

We are happy to assist you with implementing a sound allergen management system, providing advice on consumer complaints, handling company-specific allergen situations, and all other allergen-related issues.

We also assist companies with new construction or modification of production processes. That is the perfect time to set up processes in such a way that cross-contamination with allergens can be minimised.

Knowledge and documentation center

Allergenen Consultancy has an extensive library and knowledge network in the field of legislation, foreign guidelines, allergen management, icons, certification requirements, laboratories or analysis methods. Stop looking and ask us!

Validation cleaning

Cleaning is a crucial part of an allergen management plan. But how do we know if the cleaning is effective? Have all allergenic residues been removed? We provide a complete validation plan or, if desired, carry it out on location. Completely taken care of: from design, implementation, analysis and reporting!
We are also the right address for rapid tests.

Prepare and control labels

For certainty about the correctness of labels. The labeling is tested or drawn up on the basis of the applicable legislation.

Specification management

The basis of allergen management is knowledge about raw materials and additives. Allergenen Consultancy can provide assistance in giving a practical interpretation of specification management, both for raw materials and end products. We can also assess information from suppliers.

Relevant products

In addition to advice and training, we also offer various tests for the industry. Simple and reliable tests that can be performed without laboratory equipment. Delivery from stock.
