Description
Walnuts are a highly nutritious type of nut, rich in protein, fibre, healthy fats, and essential vitamins and minerals. Classified as a prominent tree nut, walnuts have the potential to trigger severe and potentially life-threatening food allergies. While the outer shell of the walnut fruit is tough and fibrous, the smooth and oily inner seed is commonly used as an ingredient in various food products. Given the seriousness of walnut allergies, it is crucial to carefully examine both the production environment and food items for any traces of walnuts, as cross-contamination can occur during the manufacturing process. To ensure adherence to rigorous food safety standards and prevent inadvertent exposure to walnut allergens, the food industry must employ highly sensitive testing equipment. This diligent approach is necessary to safeguard individuals with allergies and maintain the utmost safety in food production.
