Food Allergen Testing Laboratory India | FSSAI & NABL Accredited
Auriga Research provides NABL-accredited food allergen testing using ELISA and real-time PCR methods for the detection and quantification of priority allergens in food products. Allergen management is a critical food safety requirement under FSSAI labelling regulations, with undeclared allergens posing serious health risks to sensitised consumers.
Our allergen testing panel covers gluten (wheat, barley, rye, oats), peanut, soy, milk (casein and beta-lactoglobulin), egg, tree nuts (almond, hazelnut, cashew, walnut), crustacean shellfish, fish, sesame, mustard, celery, and lupin. We test finished products, raw ingredients, and environmental swabs for allergen cross-contact verification in manufacturing facilities.
FSSAI labelling regulations mandate allergen declaration for all packaged food products. Manufacturers must verify that allergen claims such as "gluten-free" or "contains no milk" are analytically substantiated. Our testing supports both regulatory compliance and internal allergen management programmes.
Allergen Testing Parameters
- Gluten (gliadin) — ELISA per AOAC 2012.01, detection limit 3 ppm
- Peanut protein — ELISA, detection limit 1 ppm
- Soy protein — ELISA, detection limit 1 ppm
- Milk proteins (casein, beta-lactoglobulin) — ELISA
- Egg protein (ovomucoid, ovalbumin) — ELISA
- Tree nut species — PCR-based identification
- Crustacean and fish allergens — ELISA
- Mustard, sesame, celery, lupin — ELISA/PCR
- Environmental swab testing for allergen cross-contact
- Gluten-free verification (below 20 ppm threshold)
Turnaround Time
ELISA-based allergen testing takes 5-7 business days. PCR-based detection requires 7-10 business days. Multi-allergen screening panels are completed within 10 business days.
