Peanut
Peanut allergy is one of the most common and severe food allergies worldwide, with even trace amounts capable of triggering life-threatening reactions. Due to its high risk, peanuts are classified as a major allergen and must be clearly declared on food labels under EU Directive 2007/68/EC and equivalent international regulations. Despite this, accidental contamination remains a challenge, particularly in facilities producing both peanut-containing and peanut-free products such as confectionery, baked goods, snacks, cereals, and ice cream.
To ensure consumer safety, food manufacturers must implement strict hygiene practices, allergen monitoring, and routine testing to prevent cross-contamination. Accurate detection is critical; if a product is labelled “peanut-free,” it must be completely free from peanut traces.
R-Biopharm Australia supports manufacturers in meeting safety and regulatory demands with advanced allergen testing solutions. Our ELISA and real-time PCR kits provide highly specific, sensitive detection of peanut proteins, even in complex or processed foods. These tools help ensure accurate labelling, verify cleaning effectiveness, and support compliance with international standards.
By incorporating R-Biopharm’s peanut allergen detection systems, producers can protect allergic consumers, maintain brand integrity, and meet regulatory expectations. Reliable monitoring safeguards public health and strengthens trust in genuinely peanut-free products.
