Allergen Testing for Consumer Product Manufacturers

Food Safety Net Services (FSNS), a Certified Group company, provides laboratory allergen testing of raw materials, product samples, and environmental swabs for manufacturers of food and beverage products. With ISO 17025-accredited labs and validated methods, we help you identify cross-contact, validate cleaning procedures, and ensure proper labeling to protect your customers and brand. 

Who We Serve 

We provide laboratory allergen testing for… 

Food manufacturers 

Ingredient suppliers 

Co-manufacturers and contract packagers 

Our allergen testing services are designed for businesses that must comply with regulatory requirements and protect their customers.

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for Allergen Testing

Our food & beverage labs use ELISA for allergen testing to provide you with several benefits: 

 

Targeted Accuracy

Detects even trace amounts of allergens with precision, improving risk assessment and safety.

Rapid Results

Get clear, actionable results quickly, keeping your production on track and products market-ready.

Cost-Effective Confidence

Affordable testing that doesn’t compromise quality, saving you resources while protecting your brand.

Tailored Reliability

Versatile enough to test raw materials, surfaces, and finished goods, giving you comprehensive allergen control.

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Technology for Allergen Detection

While ELISA is the industry standard for routine allergen screening, We enhance your testing strategy with advanced PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technology. PCR targets allergen-specific DNA, making it effective in scenarios where ELISA may fall short. 

 

Superior in Processed Foods

Ideal for baked goods and extruded snacks where proteins may be denatured or degraded, conditions that limit ELISA.

High Sensitivity & Specificity

Confirms allergen presence with precise DNA detection, even in complex food matrices.

Cost-Effective Confidence

Adds a deeper layer of validation during investigations of potential cross-contact.

Enhanced Labeling Confidence

Strengthens risk management and supports accurate allergen declarations. 

Together, ELISA and PCR create a robust, scientifically rigorous approach to allergen control, giving you and your consumers greater peace of mind.

We Help You Meet Regulatory Requirements for Allergen Controls

If you manufacture food, beverages, or dietary supplements, allergen controls are a regulatory requirement. Our allergen testing services help you meet regulatory requirements.

FALCPA (Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act)

Requires clear labeling of the nine major food allergens (milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, sesame) on packaged foods.

FSMA (Food Safety Modernization Act)

Mandates that facilities evaluate allergen hazards and, if required, implement preventive controls to minimize cross-contact.

21 CFR Part 117 (cGMPs)

Requires you to verify that allergens are controlled to prevent adulteration and misbranding.

We Can Review Your Labels for Regulatory Compliance

Undeclared allergens are one of the top reasons for food recalls in the United States. Our regulatory consulting arm, EAS Consulting group, a Certified Group company, can review your product labels to ensure compliance with FALCPA and FSMA. 

We help identify risks tied to allergen declarations, “Contains”, or “May Contain” statements, and claims like “natural” or “non-GMO.” Our team offers guidance on… 

Allergen Labeling

Nutrition & Supplement Facts Panels

Trending Claims & Substantiation

FDA and FTC Compliance
