Soybean and Gluten in Meat Products - Consumer Protection Strategy

Soybean and gluten belong to the group of basic food allergens and thus they are potentially hazardous. This work gives an overview of the analysis of meat products from retail shops for the presence of soybean and gluten, by using an ELISA method, not only because of the quality and authenticity but also in order to protect consumers’health. According to the results, control is necessary, because in 29.6% cases the presence of these allergens was identified in meat products but not indicated in their declarations.
