Date: Thu, Sep 26, 2024 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM CEST

The legislation concerning allergen labelling on food products and in parallel to that, food allergen testing is constantly evolving. The food industry, as well as agro-food laboratories need to be aware of these changes, to provide correct product labelling and to offer suitable food testing methods. Food allergen test kit developers also need to adapt to the new challenges and offer adequate and innovative tools aligned with the new requirements and covering emerging food allergens. All stakeholders are expected to have an in-depth knowledge about the new values for the VITAL reference doses, released by the Allergen Bureau in August 2024, and how it affects the PAL (Precautionary Allergen Labelling). The new generation of rapid tests from Gold Standard Diagnostics are providing a fast and efficient solution to comply with these regulations and to guarantee safe food consumption for people with allergies.

Key agenda points of the webinar:
• Updated allergen legislation: VITAL 4.0 and PAL concepts
• New generation of allergen rapid detection kits from GSD: PowerLine and Multi Tree Nut lateral flow tests
• Emerging allergens: Buckwheat allergen detection with ELISA method
• Q&A
