ptAU11 (2026) Vegan Compliance Check (according to e.g. the international V-Label guidelines for unintended traces) – 2 Samples qualitative (with known contents):
Animal Ingredients in Vegan Chocolate Cake Baking Mixture negative sample (< 0.1%) and positive sample with at least two animal components (> 0.1%)
(e.g. Vertebrates DNA, Egg Protein / Chicken DNA, Fish Protein / DNA, Meat or Gelatine Protein / DNA, Milk Protein / DNA from Cow, Goat or Sheep)
- Nutrients, Additives and Authenticity PTs (qualtitative)
- Test items: 2 different samples A + B (50 g each)
- Parameters: Vertebrates DNA, Egg Protein / Chicken DNA, Fish Protein / DNA, Meat or Gelatine Protein / DNA, Milk Protein / DNA from Cow, Goat or Sheep
- Methods: All suitable methods can be applied.
- Procedure: 2 Samples with animal ingredients in a Vegan Chocolate Cake Baking Mixture are provided for qualitative determination. One of the samples is a negative sample (< 0.1%) and one is a positive sample with at least two animal components (> 0.1%).
- Evaluation: All available results (from DNA-based as well as protein-based methods) should be considered to assess whether the final decision for the samples is “vegan compliant” or not (animal ingredients < 0.1% or > 0.1%). The evaluation of results is strictly qualitative with indication of the obtained agreements with the consensus values of the participants and with the spiking of samples.
Additionally, a qualitative evaluation is done for all available parameters separately for the following groups of methods: protein-based methods (e.g. ELISA, IEF, MALDI-TOF, LC-MS) and DNA-based methods (e.g. PCR-techniques, NGS, Microarrays). - Shipping costs: currently € 12,50 in Germany, € 30 into EU-Countries and Europe, € 60 - 80 North Amerika, approx. € 80 other countries (for example in South America and Asia), all prices are provisional and subject to change
