Inspection methods for fermented foods such as soy sauce are also well-developed, including 'gluten-free confirmation tests.'
Gluten-free labeling verification test using the "ELISA competitive method" suitable for fermented foods and highly processed foods. Also compatible with GFCO and AOECS certifications.
The FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) lists two ELISA kits suitable for final product verification: the Wheat/Gluten ELISA Kit (Morinaga) and RIDA SCREEN Gliadin (R-BioPharm), but it has been noted that these kits cannot accurately detect degraded gluten. Our company also offers testing using the RIDA SCREEN Gliadin Competitive kit (R-BioPharm), which can compensate for this shortcoming. 【Features of the Test】 ◆ A service lineup for highly processed foods An ELISA competitive method designed for fermented and hydrolyzed foods that are assumed to be gluten-free. This test targets peptide fragments of gliadin, secalin, and hordein after hydrolysis, allowing for more accurate testing compared to other ELISA kits. ◆ Tests compliant with international standards and certifications We offer three types of ELISA kits that are introduced in CODEX standards and FDA standards. Kits can be selected according to the purpose and sample.

Applications/Examples of results
Many requests from companies that have obtained GFCO certification and those exporting overseas! We receive inquiries from a wide range of food manufacturers, including confectionery, baking, seasonings, and health foods, covering everything from raw materials to final products, and we ensure satisfaction in both price and delivery time. ≪Customer Feedback≫ ◆ For confirming labels of products considering overseas export! (Alcohol manufacturing industry) We are exporting gluten-free beer overseas. The FDA has warned that traditional ELISA kits cannot accurately detect gluten that has undergone significant degradation, so we conduct tests using the ELISA competitive method. Even with degraded gluten, we can obtain more accurate values, which is extremely helpful. ◆ For regular quality control of GFCO certified products! (Rice processing industry) To enhance the added value of our products, we have obtained GFCO certification and are selling our products with the certification mark. When selecting a testing provider, the key points are whether they can use the kits specified by GFCO and whether they have ISO/IEC 17025 certification. We are attracted to Vision Bio because they meet both criteria and offer competitive pricing.
