“These rapid tests make it easy for producers and distributors to test for this toxin, backed by Neogen’s reputation for providing accurate and reliable results.”

Fish species can develop high levels of histamine due to bacterial enzyme activity during decomposition and eating certain types of fish with high levels of histamine can lead to scombroid or histamine food poisoning in humans.

Neogen provides several food safety diagnostic test products for foodborne bacteria, food allergens and mycotoxins.

Its mycotoxin test kits can be used to detect deoxynivalenol, ochratoxin, T-2/HT-2, aflatoxin, zearalenone and fumonisin.
