IEH recently contributed to a peer-reviewed validation study of the OnSite® Gluten Test Kit, now published in the Journal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL. Co-authored by Meiting Wu, Cesar Nadala, David Cox, Anna Willie, Kissi Yesu, Mansour Samadpour, et al., the study on “Validation of the OnSite® Gluten Test Kit for Detection of Gluten in Selected Foods and Environmental Surfaces: AOAC Performance Tested MethodSM 012501” evaluates the kit’s performance across food matrices, including rice flour, oat flour, spice mix, and bread, as well as on stainless steel. Findings support its flexible detection range of 5 to 20 mg/kg in foods and 11 µg gluten/100 cm² on surfaces, with no cross-reactivity or interference observed. To learn more about the kit’s performance, flexibility, and practical use for producers, QA teams, and contract labs, read the full study below. https://lnkd.in/dViPjKXw #IEH #GlutenTesting #AOAC #AllergenTesting #FoodSafety #FoodTesting #RapidMethods #FSQA #QualityAssurance #FoodIndustry #FoodMicrobiology #EnvironmentalMonitoring #RegulatoryCompliance

We are excited to join the International Association for Food Protection Annual Meeting next week! Dr. Wilfredo Ocasio is organizing the symposium “What’s the Hold Up? Microbiological Risks Associated with Holding of Product Prior to Further Processing,” which focuses on microbial risks that can arise before final treatments, such as heating, drying, or acidification. Stop by Room # 3 to learn about toxin-producing pathogens, spoilage risk, heat-stable enzymes, and how predictive modeling and microbial testing can support safer product storage conditions.
