Allergen-Shield Total Milk is an immunoassay method that determines milk proteins in food products labeled as milk-free.

GENERAL INFORMATION:Cow`s milk contains 3.2 % proteins which consist of 10 % β-lactoglobulin (most abundant protein of whey) and 80 % caseins. Consumption of milk might be harmful for people who are allergic to milk. The most common protein that may cause an immune reaction to children is β- lactoglobulin whereas adults usually may have an allergic reaction due to caseins. The allergen can be present as an ingredient or as a contamination in raw and cooked products. Consumption of milk -containing food from allergic people might cause a broad range of symptoms, such as hives, itching, mild oral allergy or/and anaphylactic shock. According to the regulation (EU) No. 1169/2011 Annex II, milk is included in the list of allergens established by the European Food Safety Authority, and its presence must be indicated on the label. Similar regulations exist e.g. in the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
