Description
Crustacea, a diverse group of aquatic arthropods, encompass well-liked seafood choices like shrimp, crabs, lobster, and crayfish. Appreciated for their exquisite flavour and remarkable nutritional benefits, they are consumed worldwide. However, it’s important to note that crustaceans can trigger severe allergic reactions in individuals with sensitivities. Given the inherent risks of cross-contamination during processing, it becomes imperative to diligently monitor both the production environment and food products for any presence of crustacean allergens. To ensure stringent food safety standards and prevent allergic reactions, the food industry heavily relies on highly sensitive testing equipment. This proactive approach is essential to protect sensitive individuals and uphold the highest standards of food safety.
