Food allergens can trigger serious health reactions even in trace amounts — ranging from mild intolerance to life-threatening anaphylaxis.
To protect consumers, EU legislation requires the declaration of 14 allergens, and manufacturers must take all necessary measures to prevent cross-contamination during production.
Ekocentrum supports your allergen management strategy through highly sensitive, accredited detection of major food allergens.
Whether you market “allergen-free” products or undergo certification audits, our services help ensure safe and compliant products for consumers with sensitivities.
