DNA tests can obviously be of a sensitive nature and we are more than aware of this. All our DNA sampling kits are sent out in the post in plain envelopes marked Private & Confidential and with no branding on them, so it will look like a normal letter.
For a variety of reasons, including preferences of taste and the possibility of food allergies, itâs a good idea to know which foods contain shellfish. Indeed, crustaceans are one of the eight major food allergens, the others being milk, eggs, fish, wheat, tree nuts, peanuts and soybeans. By law, the US Food and Drug Administration requires that any packaged food product with shellfish as an ingredient list the name of the shellfish on the label.
Shellfish can cause severe allergic reactions (such as anaphylaxis). Therefore it is advised that people with shellfish allergy have quick access to an epinephrine auto-injector (such as an EpiPenÂ®, Auvi-Qâ¢ or AdrenaclickÂ®) at all times. This allergy usually is lifelong.
