Cleaning validation and verification are fundamental components of effective food allergen control, and both are best supplemented with appropriate analysis. Verification testing should preferably be done on site, which eliminates the time and financial constraints associated with laboratory-based methods. Rapid kits are ideal for on-site analysis because they are quick, mobile, cost-effective, require little technical skill to operate, and in most cases require no additional equipment.The FACTS team takes a closer look at the food industrys responsibilities in terms of allergen control, validation and verification, and focuses on the different allergen rapid-kit systems for on-site testing that are available including which important factors to consider when choosing a rapid kit.
