Comparison of commercial DNA kits for allergen detection of celery in food matrices.

ABSTRACT: For correct allergen risk management by industry, retail and food safety authorities, sensitive and reliable fast allergen detection methods are required, even more when precautionary allergen labelling based on reference doses will be implemented in legislation. This study aimed to perform a comparative assessment of three commercially available quantitative or qualitative test kits, for DNA analysis of celery in food products.
