Description
Peanuts are legumes abundant in nutrients, offering a valuable source of protein, fibre, healthy fats, as well as essential vitamins and minerals. These peanuts, classified as a significant groundnut, have the potential to cause severe food allergies, even leading to fatality. While their outer shell is thin, the inner seed possesses a smooth, oily texture, making it a widely used ingredient in diverse food products. Given the seriousness of peanut allergies, it is of utmost importance to thoroughly examine both the production environment and food items for any traces of peanuts. Cross-contamination during the manufacturing process is a real concern. Therefore, the food industry must employ highly sensitive testing equipment to uphold strict food safety standards, ensuring compliance and preventing inadvertent exposure to peanut allergens.
