HOW AMIKNO WORKS

    Amikno is a food-testing tool designed to help consumers identify the presence of meat and animal by-products in their food and beverage.

    This innovative solution provides quick and convenient results, empowering users to verify their food meets their unique dietary requirements with ease.

    Whether it be for plant-based diets or food allergies, the ability to detect traces of animal products is crucial for maintaining a healthy and safe diet.

Dip or Swipe

Remove the Amikno test strip and make sure the test pad is yellow.

Let food or beverage cool down, do not test while scolding hot.

Immerse or swipe the test strip into or over the food or beverage for a duration of 3 seconds.

Getting a good swipe is important. You won’t get a good sample of a burger if you only test the bun.

Color Scale

After a wait time of 30 seconds, compare the results on the test strip with the provided color identification scale.

Yellow test pads indicate that the food, beverage, or product you tested does not contain animal meat or by-products.

When the test pad changes color to green or blue, the product you just tested contains some sort of meat or animal by-product.

Enjoy or Dispose

+ Positive for meat or animal by-products: test pad turns green or blue

   

- Negative for meat or animal by-products: test pad remains yellow

Based on the results, either proceed with confidence to enjoy your meal or dispose of it if the results are not as desired.
