Sidebar Image

Leading testing laboratory, Eurofins UK has added testing for hazelnuts to extend its range of allergen testsHazelnuts.

The increased use of hazelnuts in chocolate based confectionery and cereals means an added requirement for allergy testing for this nut.

Eurofins in the UK uses ELISA tests methods for all of its allergen testing which presently covers milk (BLG and casein); egg; sesame; gluten; peanut; almond; soya and now hazelnut.

The flexible scope of its accreditation means that Eurofins is able to easily add and validate tests quickly without the need to wait for a UKAS assessment visit for each individual test, and without any compromise on quality.

Rob Limburn, Allergens and Authenticity Manager at Eurofins Laboratories said:

"Allergens is a fast changing sector with customers requiring testing for an increasingly diverse range of products. This flexible scope entrusted to us by UKAS means that Eurofins can react quickly to new analytes and changing customer needs.
