Species Identification (Food Fraud Detection)

Species Identification (Food Fraud Detection)

Food fraud involves the intentional production of food that does not meet established standards. This includes adulterated, counterfeit products, misleading labeling and the substitution of ingredients with lower quality options.  These practices aim to deceive the consumer for profit and can compromise trust and public health by introducing contaminants and harmful substances into food. The presence of undeclared ingredients or counterfeit species can be detected through their DNA by real-time PCR . 

Our qPCR kits allow you to:

  1. Detect a wide selection of ingredients in various matrices::
    • Meat Products: Tests on beef, pork, lamb and poultry
    • Dairy products: Milk, cheese and other dairy products
    • Fish products: Fish and Cod
    • Cereals and Grains: Analysis of flours, grains and cereals
    • Other: Rice, Wheat, Corn, Rabbit, Dogs, Cats, Vegan (detection of meat in vegetables)

  2. Quantify the percentage content of the species' DNA in the meat DNA content detected by the qPCR kits, using reference standards
