Food And Feed Safety

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites of molds, contaminating a wide range of crop plants and fruits. Such contaminated crops are toxic to humans and animals, and hence, a major health issue for the consumer.

Romer Labs offers the most comprehensive portfolio of mycotoxin testing solutions for the detection of regulated mycotoxins in agricultural commodities, grain by-products and feed formulations, including immunoassays like AgraQuant® ELISA tests and AgraStrip® lateral flow tests.

Food allergens are mainly proteins that the immune system of allergic individuals mistakenly believes are harmful. As food allergens represent an ever-present risk for individuals with allergies, it is critical for food producers to conduct routine tests for potential allergen contaminations in their products.

Romer Labs offers the most complete portfolio of allergen test kits for the qualitative AgraStrip® and quantitative AgraQuant® analysis of food allergens.
