Fish protein is one of the major food allergens. Due to the increasing use of seafood in the food industry, consumers with fish allergies are at risk of severe or even fatal reactions caused by mislabeled or undeclared fish-derived ingredients in food products. Fish 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 ELISA Fish is a rapid immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of fish antigen in food products, kitchens, and food manufacturing facilities.
