North America Food Allergen Testing Market 2022-2028

MARKET OUTLOOK

Triton Market Research’s report suggests that the food allergen testing market in North America is expected to gather a CAGR of 5.84% over the forecasting years from 2022 to 2028. Canada and the United States are studied in the given region.

In Canada, several people suffer from food intolerance. As per estimates, around 6.8 million people have at least one food intolerance. Furthermore, the food processing industry is the second largest industry in the country in terms of production and goods sales. The government has mandated labeling common allergens on food products, such as eggs, milk, fish, sesame seeds, soy, and tree nuts. In this regard, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency oversees the allergen labeling in the country. Therefore, these factors boost the food allergen testing market on a growth path.

In the US, the FDA mandates the labeling of major food allergens, such as milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, and soybeans. As per the Food Allergy Safety, Treatment, Education, and Research Act, sesame seeds were introduced as the 9th major food allergen that companies need to include in the ingredient list. In recent years, several food products have been recalled by the FDA due to undeclared allergens. For instance, the Queen Bee Gardens chocolate candy was recalled due to the presence of undeclared tree nuts. Thus, these factors are augmenting the growth of the food allergen testing market.
