Rapid Detection of Food Allergens with Nanotechnology Biosensor

It is important that food preparers make sure that they are aware of what the food contains. There are many people that have food allergies and staying on top of this will ensure that the consumers will not get sick. Checking food to ensure that it is allergen free is a very lengthy process and takes up a lot of time to complete. 2 Scientist have developed a device that will tell them if the food contains allergens within a matter of minutes therefore making it easy and quick to test the foods.

Key Takeaways:

  • Allergens in food pose a constant threat and can lead to a condition known as anaphylaxis
  • Government and company food inspectors must remain vigilant in keeping foods advertised as being “allergen-free”
  • The impact of real-time monitoring could be substantial for those with allergies

“The impact of real-time monitoring could be substantial for those with allergies, especially when such foods can be life threatening.”
