Egg proteins are considered one of the major food allergens.
Egg allergy can cause severe and even life-threatening immune reactions, including anaphylaxis, acute bronchial asthma, severe atopic dermatitis, and gastroenteritis. Eggs are widely used in food products such as ice cream, noodles, pasta, sauces, and wine. Trace amounts of egg proteins may remain on food-contact surfaces used during food processing. Furthermore, some vaccines may contain small amounts of egg proteins, posing a potential risk to individuals with egg allergy.

Crustaceans are among the most commonly consumed types of seafood; in some countries, crustaceans and their derived products represent an important part of daily consumption. Crustacean allergy can manifest with a variety of symptoms, ranging from mild oral allergic reactions or urticaria to severe, life-threatening systemic reactions, namely anaphylaxis or bronchial asthma. Crustacean allergy is among the top 10 food allergies in some geographical regions, although there is no global prevalence estimate available. Consumption of crustaceans is prohibited by certain religions.
AlerTox® Sticks Crustacean is a rapid test kit for the quantitative detection of crustacean antigen in food products, kitchens, and food manufacturing facilities.
Assay Time: 10 minutes.
Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is a legume belonging to the Fabaceae family (also known as Leguminosae), which includes beans, peas, green beans, alfalfa, and lupins.
Peanut allergy can manifest with a variety of symptoms, ranging from mild oral allergic reactions or urticaria to severe, life-threatening systemic reactions, namely anaphylaxis or bronchial asthma. Anaphylaxis caused by peanuts is considered to have the highest fatality rate among all food allergies. Peanut allergy affects more than 0.5% of children in the general population.
AlerTox Sticks Peanut is a rapid immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of peanut antigen in food products and on environmental surfaces.
Assay Time: 10 minutes.
Almond (Prunus dulcis) belongs to the Rosaceae family (the same family as apples, pears, peaches, cherries, plums, and apricots). However, almond allergy is classified as a tree nut allergy.
Almond allergy can manifest with a variety of symptoms, ranging from mild oral allergic reactions or urticaria to severe, life-threatening systemic reactions, namely anaphylaxis or bronchial asthma.
AlerTox Sticks Almond is an ELISA kit for the semi-quantitative detection of almond antigen in food products, kitchens, and food manufacturing facilities.
Soybean (Glycine max) is a legume belonging to the Fabaceae family (also known as Leguminosae), which includes beans, peas, green beans, alfalfa, and lupins.
Soy allergy can manifest with a variety of symptoms, ranging from mild oral allergic reactions or urticaria to severe, life-threatening systemic reactions, namely anaphylaxis or bronchial asthma. Soybean is also one of the most frequently genetically modified crops and one of the least expensive sources of protein used in the food industry for food formulation and adulteration. The estimated prevalence of soy allergy is approximately 0.1%–0.2% across different populations, with most reported cases occurring in children.
AlerTox Sticks Soy PLUS is a rapid immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of soy antigen in food products, kitchens, and food manufacturing facilities.
Assay Time: 10 minutes.
Crustaceans are among the most widely consumed seafood worldwide. In some countries, crustaceans and crustacean-derived products constitute an important part of the daily diet. Crustacean allergy can manifest with a variety of symptoms, ranging from mild oral allergic reactions or urticaria to severe, life-threatening systemic reactions, namely anaphylaxis or bronchial asthma. Crustacean allergy is among the top 10 food allergies in certain geographical regions, although no estimate of its global prevalence is available. The consumption of crustaceans is prohibited by certain religions.
AlerTox ELISA Crustacean is an ELISA kit for the quantitative detection of crustacean antigen in food products, kitchens, and food manufacturing facilities.
Sesame is an herbaceous plant belonging to the Pedaliaceae family. The most common species are Sesamum indicum (white sesame) and Sesamum radiatum (black sesame).
Allergy to sesame seeds and sesame-derived products can manifest with a variety of symptoms, ranging from mild oral allergic reactions or urticaria to severe, life-threatening systemic reactions, namely anaphylaxis or bronchial asthma. Sesame allergy is estimated to affect 0.1%–0.9% of the population and is more common in Asian countries. Sensitive individuals may exhibit cross-reactivity with peanuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, rye, and poppy seeds.
AlerTox ELISA Sesame is an ELISA kit for the quantitative detection of sesame antigen in food products, kitchens, and food manufacturing facilities.
