Allergen Variability in Early Introduction Foods: What Have We Learned?

InBio has completed a study comparing the allergen content of early introduction food (EIF) brands. This study demonstrated significant variability in the allergen concentration and dose in EIF from 9 manufacturers, when tested for 17 major allergens.

Topic:

Use of MARIA® for Foods to Compare the Allergen Content of Early Introduction Food (EIF) Brands

Description:

InBio’s has further developed its multiplex technology, MARIA® for Foods, to simultaneously measure up to 17 major food allergens from a single sample. This state-of-the-art technology was recently used to compare specific food allergen levels in EIF brands, as reported at the AAAAI annual meeting. The study demonstrated significant variability in the allergen concentration and dose in EIF from nine manufacturers, when tested for 17 major allergens.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the applications of MARIA® for Foods for measuring specific food allergens
• Discuss details, data, and impact of the EIF study
• Understand how Indoor Biotechnologies’ molecular approach to food allergy can improve the quality of EIF and other therapeutic products for food allergy

Who Should Attend:

Allergists, Pediatricians, Health Care Providers, Food Advocacy and Food Safety Organizations, Food Industries, Food Immunotherapy and Diagnostic Companies, Food Allergen Researchers, Regulatory Authorities, Investors, Consumers and Food Allergy Sufferers.
