Allergen Testing for Dried Fruits, Nuts, and Associated Products
Food allergens pose significant health risks to consumers, making accurate allergen testing essential for compliance and safety.
One Scientific, our expert Tentamus sister-lab, provides comprehensive allergen testing for dried fruits and nuts, helping food manufacturers, importers, and retailers meet UK and EU food safety regulations while protecting consumers from allergic reactions.
Why Allergen Testing is Essential
Products containing dried fruits and nuts—such as granola bars, protein bars, energy bars, cereal bars, fruit and nut bars, muesli bars, seed bars, raw fruit and nut bars, and date-based bars—are popular among health-conscious consumers. However, these products often carry the risk of allergen contamination, which can pose serious health risks to individuals with food allergies.
We provide comprehensive allergen testing to help manufacturers ensure their products meet safety and regulatory requirements while preventing cross-contamination risks.
Our Allergen Testing Services
We offer detailed testing for a range of allergens commonly found in dried fruit and nut products, including:
Peanut & Tree Nut Testing
We detect the presence of tree nuts such as almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, walnuts, pistachios, and other nut allergens to prevent accidental exposure.
Gluten Testing
For brands seeking gluten-free certification, we ensure compliance by testing for gluten traces in granola, cereal bars, and snack foods.
Milk & Dairy Testing
We identify milk proteins and lactose in chocolates, nougat, energy bites, and baked goods to confirm dairy-free claims.
Egg & Soy Testing
Many protein bars and baked goods contain egg and soy-derived ingredients. Our tests detect these common allergens to maintain product transparency.
Sesame & Mustard Testing
We check for undeclared allergens like sesame and mustard, which can often be found in crackers, snack bites, and cereal mixes.
Cross-Contamination Risk Assessment
Our advanced testing evaluates the risk of cross-contamination during processing and handling, ensuring compliance with food safety standards.
