Allergies to tree nuts including cashew nuts are relatively common and can present as life-threatening allergic reactions. Accordingly, numerous countries require that food labels clearly indicate cashew content. Cashew prepared as a “milk” substitute for dairy has been subjected to prolonged thermal processing rendering the allergens relatively indiscernible using standard detection methods. To assist the food industry in establishing effective food safety practices, ELISA SYSTEMS® has developed a rapid test kit that can reliably detect Cashew Milk residues in food and on surfaces and equipment.
