BLG Free Test

BLG Free Test is a Lateral Flow test that detects beta-Lactoglobulin residues in food products, cip solutions and working surfaces.

GENERAL INFORMATION:Cow`s milk contains 3.2 % proteins which consist of 10 % β-lactoglobulin (heatresistant main fraction of whey proteins) and 80 % caseins. Consumption of βlactoglobulin might be harmful for people who are allergic to milk. It is the most common protein that may cause an immune reaction to children. The allergen can be present as an ingredient or as a contamination in raw and cooked products due to the addition of whey or milk powder in many food products. Consumption of BLGcontaining 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 and therefore its ingredients are 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.
