Food Allergen Testing

Food Allergy Testing Kits for Food Production Sites

Detect allergen residue on surfaces, equipment, rinse water and finished product in minutes, without sending samples to an external laboratory.

HACCP Plus supplies rapid test kits for the 8 major food allergens, so Australian food businesses can verify cleaning and protect their customers, in-house.

These kits test food products and food-contact surfaces for allergen protein residue — a food safety check, not a medical test. Anyone wanting to find out whether they personally have a food allergy should speak with a qualified health professional.

How It Works

How Rapid Allergen Tests Work

Each kit uses a lateral flow device to detect its target allergenic protein.

Prepare the sample

Swab a food-contact surface, collect rinse water, or extract the food sample exactly as the kit instructions direct.
Apply it to the device

Add the prepared sample to the lateral flow device and start timing per the kit's instructions.
Read the result

Check the control line first, then read positive or negative within the stated time window.

A positive result means investigate, reclean and retest under your site procedure. A missing control line means the result is invalid and the test must be repeated.

FAQ

Common Questions

Is this a test for a personal food allergy?

No. These kits test food products and food-contact surfaces for allergen protein residue, to verify cleaning and production hygiene for food businesses. They are not a medical test and cannot diagnose a food allergy in a person.
How long does a test take?

Most kits give a result in minutes once the sample is applied to the device, so you get an answer before the next production run rather than waiting days for an external lab.
Do I need laboratory equipment?

No. Each kit is a self-contained, easy-to-use lateral flow test designed to be run on-site by your own staff, with no lab experience required.
What can I test with these kits?

Food-contact surfaces and equipment after cleaning, CIP final rinse water, and finished food product, depending on the kit and your HACCP sampling plan.
