Simplify workflow and be confident in your allergen testing process. 3M™ Allergen Testing Products were designed with your needs in mind by a team of experts who use these tests every day. Based on extensive experience with immunoassay technology and testing thousands of unique food samples, they set out to design tests to detect both processed and unprocessed proteins with a simplified workflow. It took years of careful antibody selection and formulation development to create the simplicity and performance provided by these kits. Supported by 3M scientists and engineers, these test kits give you the reliability and efficiency you have come to expect from 3M.
Streamline your process and simplify your allergen testing with 3M™ Allergen Protein Rapid Tests — qualitative immunochromatographic assays for rapid in-plant monitoring of specific food allergens. Designed for accurate detection of processed and unprocessed allergen proteins, these fast, easy tests can be used for clean-in-place (CIP) final rinse water, environmental swab samples, raw ingredients and finished food products. We’ve taken the hassle out of allergen testing. You see the results.
Get confirmed, quantifiable results with solid phase sandwich ELISA tests for monitoring specific food allergens across a wide variety of foods. Designed for accurate detection of processed and unprocessed target allergen proteins, this broad portfolio of ELISA assays is one of the most comprehensive available, and can be used for clean-in-place (CIP) final rinse water, environmental swab samples, food ingredients and processed food products. A universal extraction protocol streamlines testing for multiple analytes, saving you reagents and valuable time. It’s the simple way to master allergen testing.
Control allergen cross-contamination in your processing facility with 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Surface Protein (Allergen) Test Swabs (detect as little as 3 µg of protein on surfaces and in hard to reach areas) and 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Surface Protein Plus Test Swabs. Both products are fast, simple solutions for monitoring the presence of total proteins on surfaces to verify the effectiveness of cleaning.
Cleaning and sanitation work together to establish an effective food safety management program.
Cleaning validation and verification along with other environmental monitoring and allergen management activities, strengthen implemented food safety programs and protect consumers. ATP monitoring and allergen testing are relevant verification strategies at various stages in the food supply chain to determine whether risk management activities are being effective. The chart below can help you find the areas within your plant that may require routine allergen testing and ATP monitoring, as well as technologies that can help you to perform those tests.

As food allergies continue to rise, the need for food manufacturers to ensure accurate labeling is crucial for public health and safety. In conjunction with this, the establishment of a food safety plan to prevent the introduction of physical, chemical and microbiological risks in the food supply chain is also essential.
