Growth of Global Food Allergens and Intolerance Testing Market Shifts to High Gear with Increasing Popularity of Specialized Products

Food allergies or intolerance have affected almost every individual at some point of their life. The increasing number of allergens across the globe and the globalization of the food markets have resulted in a higher number of allergies and intolerance among people.

A food allergy is not the same as the food intolerance. A food allergy causes hypersensitivity and triggers an abnormal immune response after the ingestion of a specific kind of food. On the other hand, when the immune system is not involved in the reaction to a particular food, it is identified as food intolerance.

In this blog, Transparency Market Research provides answers to significant questions associated with the food allergens and intolerance testing market, emphasizing on the potential opportunities and major growth prospects.

What are the major steps taken by the industry players to avoid food allergy and intolerance among consumers?

In the last few years, several food manufacturers have introduced gluten-free and other specialized foods for people who are suffering food allergies. Several applications such as (iAvoid Food Allergy, iEatOut Gluten Free and Allergy Free, AllergyEats, and Yummly) have been developed to help people in understanding which food is good for them. An individual can simply scan the products using these applications and check for the presence of any ingredients that may cause an adverse reaction. A mobile application developed by Tellspec scans food to provide a detailed breakdown of the ingredients on the phone screen.

Developments like these are expected to augment the sale of specialized products and help consumers eat the food of their choice.
