General Information:
Especially airborne cereal dust lead to gliadin contamination in the production. The cleaning of surfaces should be carried out with alcoholic solutions. Thereafter, using swab tests, it is verified if the cleaning of the surfaces was sufficient.
The official type I method for gluten determination according to the Codex Alimentarius is an ELISA which uses the R5 antibody (Mendez). This requirement is fulfilled by RIDASCREEN® Gliadin test (R7001). The RIDA®QUICK Gliadin test strips also use the R5 antibody and show a good correlation with the official method, the R5-ELISA RIDASCREEN® Gliadin. R-Biopharm AG is the only company that is allowed to use the R5 antibody for the test strips.
