Protect Consumers. Build Trust.
Grow Your Brand.
Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS) is one of the fastest-emerging food safety challenges — and one of the least understood. The CDC estimates that up to 450,000 people in the U.S. may have AGS, but the true number is unknown and likely underdiagnosed. Cases are on the rise, yet AGS is not a nationally notifiable disease, which means there’s no consistent system for tracking it. Consumers are left guessing, and brands have an opportunity to step in with leadership and clarity.
Becoming Certified Alpha Gal Free (CAGF) allows your brand to:
Tap into a growing, underserved market. Consumers with AGS are searching for safe, trustworthy products and right now, their choices are limited.
Provide trust where regulation falls short.
With no FDA, USDA, or EU requirement for “alpha-gal free” labeling, your certification fills an urgent gap.
Stand apart with transparency.
With full ingredient disclosure and supply chain review, offer unmatched clarity where labels can mislead.
Anticipate regulation.
With legislation already proposed to add alpha-gal as a major allergen, certification shows your brand is ahead of the curve.
Differentiate your brand.
Early adopters will gain consumer loyalty, retail attention, and a market advantage as demand grows.
