FDA BAM Allergen Chapter Fish Protein Detection
The FDA's Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM) provides a comprehensive framework for food microbiological analysis, including allergen detection. Among the various chapters of this manual, Chapter 618 specifically addresses the detection of fish protein in foods and feeds. This service ensures compliance with FDA regulations by accurately identifying fish proteins, which is crucial for products that claim to be free from or contain specific types of seafood.
The process involves rigorous sample preparation followed by analysis using validated methods such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or polymerase chain reaction (PCR). These techniques are chosen based on their sensitivity and specificity in detecting even trace amounts of fish proteins. Our laboratory adheres strictly to the procedures outlined in ISO 16140-2, which is globally recognized for its robustness and accuracy.
The significance of this service extends beyond mere compliance; it plays a vital role in safeguarding public health by preventing allergic reactions, especially among consumers with fish allergies. By ensuring that food products meet stringent allergen-free standards, we contribute to the integrity of the supply chain and enhance consumer trust.
In addition to detection capabilities, our team also provides expert consultation on allergen management strategies for your organization. This includes guidance on labeling practices, risk assessment methodologies, and best practices for minimizing cross-contamination in production environments. Our services are designed to help you navigate complex regulatory landscapes confidently and efficiently.
