How to Test Food or Drinks for Gliadin Contamination
If you need to verify whether a food or beverage sample contains gluten proteins, the Gliadin Allergen Food Swab Test kit from SimpleLab offers a precise, mail-to-lab solution. This targeted analysis detects gliadin — a key gluten component found in wheat, barley, and rye — using laboratory-certified methods that far exceed the accuracy of at-home strips.
How to Test for Gliadin (Gluten) in Food or Beverages
Testing for gluten proteins like gliadin requires certified laboratory analysis. This Gliadin Allergen Food Swab Test uses the ELISA method, a highly sensitive immunoassay capable of detecting gliadin at levels as low as 2.5 parts per million (ppm).
Each kit includes:
- Sterile sampling materials
- Prepaid overnight shipping
- Digital report-back through SimpleLab’s secure platform.
Just collect your sample, mail it to the lab, and receive accurate results within 10 business days.
Who Should Use This Test
This test is ideal for those who are:
- Managing gluten-free production
- Overseeing food safety and product verification
- Seeking actionable ways to control or reduce exposure to gluten and gluten-containing products
Commercial kitchens, breweries, and small food producers often use gliadin testing to confirm their gluten-free labeling standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is gliadin the same as gluten?
Not exactly. Gliadin is one of the main proteins that make up gluten and is used as an indicator of gluten presence in foods.
Can I use this test at home without lab analysis?
No. DIY gluten tests often provide unreliable results. Certified ELISA testing through a laboratory ensures accuracy down to parts per million.
What types of samples can I test?
The kit is designed for solid or liquid food samples—such as bread, sauces, beer, or other processed items.
How long does it take to get results?
Once the lab receives your sample, you’ll get a secure digital report within 10 business days.
