Pork F26

Pork allergy is relatively rare, but it can cause serious health problems for individuals who are sensitive to the proteins found in pork. Allergic reactions to pork can occur even after consuming small amounts of this meat, which can significantly affect quality of life and diet. At IntroLab in Belgrade, the Pork F26 test provides precise identification of allergens present in pork, which is important for accurate diagnosis and proper management of symptoms in individuals who react to this meat.
