Adulteration of meat in processed food is a sensitive issue since certain meat species are prohibited in some religions such as Islam and Judaism or considered a taboo in most cultures when the animal is considered a pet and not as a source of food. These meat species are also potential carriers of hepatitis, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), anthrax, and some other deadly zoonoses. Canine meat is not only taboo in most cultures but also under religious prohibition. Dog meats were often sold as chicken meats and since dog population is huge in most parts of the world and its meat does not have any value in legal markets, dog meat could be considered as a highly potential adulterant in halal, kosher, and other foods. DNA analysis represents a primary defense against this food fraud and This 2-plex Real-Time PCR kit with internal amplification control, detects DOG traces down to 0.1% (w/w) in DNA extracted from any food product.
