Milk
Milk allergies are distinct from lactose intolerance, as they involve immune reactions to milk proteins rather than a deficiency in the enzyme needed to digest lactose. Cow’s milk contains several allergenic proteins, with casein and ß-lactoglobulin being the most significant. Casein, a major milk allergen, is found in cheese, yoghurt, cream, butter, bakery products, chocolate, and even some meat and wine products. It is also present in milk from sheep, goats, and other animals, making vigilance in labelling essential. ß-lactoglobulin, a whey protein, is commonly allergenic in children and is found in fresh milk and hydrolysed dairy products. Because it is not heat-stable, some individuals can tolerate cooked dairy, and alternative milk sources may be suitable.
R-Biopharm Australia provides reliable testing solutions to help manufacturers monitor milk allergens and meet regulatory requirements. Our ELISA kits deliver sensitive, accurate detection of milk proteins in raw materials and finished products, while lateral flow tests enable rapid on-site verification. These tools strengthen allergen management by preventing cross-contamination, protecting product integrity, and supporting accurate labelling.
Using R-Biopharm’s milk allergen detection solutions helps food producers protect consumers, maintain quality, and build confidence in their brand while supporting compliance and food safety best practices.
