Peanut Allergen Concerns in Garlic – How BCFoods Ensures Safety BCFoods is aware of the recent issue regarding peanut allergens being detected in garlic in the EU and potentially elsewhere. We take food safety seriously and want to assure our customers that our garlic meets the highest allergen control standards. As one of the leading global producers of dehydrated garlic, with our own dehydration factories in China and India, we have strict protocols in place to prevent cross-contamination. A key part of our allergen control program is in-house ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) testing, a highly sensitive method used to detect allergenic proteins. By conducting ELISA testing directly within our facilities, we ensure real-time monitoring and compliance with peanut allergen regulations before our products ever leave our hands. Additionally, we collaborate with FARRP (Food Allergy Research & Resource Program)?to stay ahead of emerging allergen risks and continually refine our testing protocols. Food manufacturers and foodservice providers rely on us for safe, high-quality garlic—and we’re committed to delivering. If you have any concerns or would like to learn more about our allergen control measures or our Garlic program, reach out! https://lnkd.in/gJzuTFMM #FoodSafety #AllergenControl #PeanutFree #Garlic #ELISATesting #BCFoods
