The immunoassay-based technology is often used in food allergen testing. Immunoassays are analytical measurement systems that use antibodies as test reagents. Antibodies are proteins produced in the serum of animals in response to foreign substances (antigens) and specifically bind the substance that elicited their production. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based is the second largest technology used to detect allergen in the food. The testing market through immunoassay-based/ELISA (Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay) technologies is largely driven by its low cost, and accurate & quick results, among other advantages.

The processed food segment is incorporated by a wide number of products such as snacks, packaged products, convenience food products, and ready-to-cook food products and there are huge number of processed food allergy cases and complaints from the consumers. This in turn has led the market for processed food testing to be the largest in the food allergen testing.
