FSTest Alum Detection Kit for Food & Edible Bird's Nest

Semi-Quantitative Detection of Harmful Alum Additives in Food Products

Alum (Aluminum-based additive) is toxic to the human body and is prohibited in many food categories, including edible bird’s nest.  Long-term accumulation of aluminum can damage brain cells, leading to early-onset dementia, cognitive decline, and nervous system damage.  In food safety regulations—especially in China—alum is banned from bird’s nest products, and nitrites are strictly limited to no more than 30 mg/kg.

The FSTest Alum Detection Kit provides a fast, reliable, and semi-quantitative method to detect alum residues in food, supporting quality control, customs inspections, and safety compliance in processed foods, noodles, snacks, and bird’s nests.

Key Features

✅ Detection Limit: Sensitive to as low as 25 mg/kg alum

✅ Wide Application: Suitable for detecting alum in noodles, fried foods, vermicelli, steamed buns, bird's nest, jellyfish, and more

✅ Clear Visual Results: Use with colorimetric chart for intuitive result reading

✅ Rapid Test: Results in 15–25 minutes depending on sample type

✅ Safe & Reliable: Supports food compliance with Chinese GB2760-2014 and import/export inspections

✅ High-Throughput: 50 tests per kit — ideal for lab and factory batch testing
