ISO 23662 Allergen-Free and Vegan Food Verification
The ISO 23662 standard is designed to ensure that food products are free from common allergens, as well as meeting vegan dietary requirements. This service verifies the absence of major allergenic proteins and other potential contaminants while confirming compliance with vegan criteria. The test focuses on a wide range of processed foods including but not limited to cereals, snacks, beverages, and dairy alternatives.
The process starts with detailed sampling of the food product, followed by extraction of protein components using advanced techniques such as liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Specific allergens like peanuts, tree nuts, milk, soy, eggs, fish, crustaceans, and mollusks are targeted. For vegan verification, the absence of animal-derived ingredients is confirmed through a combination of analytical methods including ELISA kits and DNA-based tests.
The test parameters include both qualitative and quantitative analysis to ensure accuracy. Qualitative results indicate whether specific allergens or contaminants are present in the sample, while quantitative results provide precise amounts for regulatory compliance. The acceptance criteria adhere strictly to ISO 23662, ensuring that all verified products meet international standards.
This service is crucial for food manufacturers and suppliers who wish to ensure their products are safe for consumption by individuals with allergies and dietary restrictions. It also helps in maintaining a positive brand image and compliance with labeling laws. By providing detailed reports, this testing not only aids in meeting regulatory requirements but also supports internal quality assurance processes.
