FSIS to update the allergen analysis method
USA
Jun 16, 2025
The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) revised its allergen method, Screening and Confirmation of Allergens by XMAP® (CLG-ALG1) to reflect recent updates in allergen testing policy and laboratory practices. These changes align with Food and Drug Administration allergen guidance, Guidance for Industry: Questions and Answers Regarding Food Allergen Labeling (Edition 5), and improve overall laboratory efficiency. The updated method will be posted no later than June 16, 2025, on the Chemistry Laboratory Guidebook page of the FSIS website.
The updated method also includes a new, validated stopping point in the extraction process. This change allows analysts to start the analysis and store extracted allergens overnight and continue with the analysis the following day even when samples arrive late. The added flexibility improves efficiency and reduces overall program sample result turnaround times, directly supporting the agency’s food inspection activities.
