Thermo Fisher Scientific provides industry-leading analytical solutions for the detection and quantification of food allergens, which affect approximately 5% of the world’s population. Ensuring safety and meeting strict labeling requirements is critical, as failure to identify allergens can lead to severe health risks and financial consequences. While common methods like ELISA and PCR are often used, they can face limitations when detecting specific proteins in processed foods. Thermo Scientific\u2019s LC-MS\/MS technology, utilizing high-resolution accurate mass (HRAM) instrumentation, offers a more robust solution by screening for whole proteins following tryptic digestion. This powerful technique enables the identification of multiple allergenic peptides in a single injection, streamlining workflows for both qualitative and quantitative analysis. By delivering greater sensitivity, specificity, and reliability, these systems help labs overcome the challenges of complex food matrices. Supported by high-performance platforms like the Q Exactive Orbitrap and Vanquish Horizon UHPLC, Thermo Fisher helps manufacturers comply with international regulations such as EU 1169\/2011 and the US FALCPA. These comprehensive tools ensure that allergenic ingredients\u2014from milk and eggs to peanuts and shellfish\u2014are accurately identified, protecting consumers and maintaining the integrity of the global food supply chain.<\/p>\n
