Allergen Detection: “Gluten-Free” Claim Verification in Detergent Labels

Hidden Risks in Everyday Cleaning Products

Detergents are judged not only by their cleaning power but also by their health impact. For individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, the phrase “gluten-free” on a product label is a crucial reassurance. But how reliable is this claim? This is where detergent gluten analysis comes into play.

Gluten Allergies and Detergents

Though commonly associated with food, gluten derivatives can also be found in some cleaning products. These substances may cause serious reactions when in contact with the skin or through inhalation, especially in sensitive individuals.

What is Detergent Gluten Analysis?

This analytical process determines whether a detergent product contains gluten. Detergent gluten analysis plays a critical role in verifying label accuracy and protecting consumer health.

Common Test Methods Include:

• ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay)
• Mass Spectrometry
• Microscopic Identification

Why Label Accuracy Matters

The claim “gluten-free” is more than a marketing phrase—it’s a responsibility. False claims can endanger consumer health and may lead to legal consequences. That’s why verification through a reliable detergent analysis laboratory is essential.
