Our company allergen management program identifies site allergens as soy, wheat, fish, egg and milk. The company validates the program using Neogen 3-D reveal kits (ten in a box) When we started the allergen management program, we considered the cost of the kits and number of swabs in a kit (10), we are a small USDA facility. We tested for soy, as this is the most commonly used out of the 5 allergens on site currently. We tested food contact services after the soy clean up for 6 consecutive weeks and found allergen cleaning effective and opted to continue validating the program quarterly with the 4 swabs left in the kit. When it is time to purchase another allergen test kit we will use the next most used allergen on site. We received this NC: Allergen cleaning validation did not include allergen specific swab for egg, milk, fish and wheat. Does the fact that these allergens are on schedule to be validated in rotation with purchasing the next kit weigh in on this non-conformance?
