Testing incoming spices/herbs for allergens
Hello! I am looking to start a testing program where I look for allergens at incoming receipt of spices and herbs (i.e. cinnamon, garlic, onion, paprika, cumin, etc.). I've determined that laminar flow test strips are the best option for this type of testing. I have an idea of which allergens I want to test for as well as which incoming materials I want to test. The plan will include testing from every supplier who provides the selected incoming materials.
Has anyone implemented this kind of allergen testing protocol? If so, what did you do and has it been accepted by external auditors?
Any and all help/suggestions are welcome!
