DEESIDE, Wales, June 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- May 2025 marked another key milestone for Reacta Healthcare, as the first production run of pharmaceutical grade milk and egg challenge meals commenced. These first orders will be shipped internationally for two clinical trials investigating novel food allergy treatments.
The importance of considering multiple food allergies in both diagnosis and treatment has become increasingly relevant. Amongst those with food allergies 46% of adults and 40% of children have multiple food allergies, making it crucial for healthcare providers to adopt a holistic approach.
The addition of egg and milk challenge meals to the existing peanut products at Reacta Healthcare reflects the prevalence of multiple food allergies. These products are designed to meet the needs of food allergy research and clinical communities, ensuring safety, quality, and efficacy across various allergens. The development of these new standardised allergen products allows for easy expansion of the product portfolio with further allergens.
Full development and manufacture of the new products has been undertaken at Reacta Healthcare's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) licensed site in Deeside, UK. The challenge meals comply with client requirements for allergen identification, standardisation, and cGMP manufacturing. Successful submissions of these dossiers have been made to various health agencies including FDA and EMA on numerous occasions since 2017.
Reacta's challenge meals are suitable for supply to all phases of clinical trials for use in double-blind placebo-controlled oral food challenges. With the addition of 2 more allergens, Reacta is ideally placed to supply various challenge meal combinations to a growing clinical research community seeking an 'antigen agnostic' indication for their respective therapies. The multi-allergen site is now set up to seamlessly develop further allergen challenge meals, hazelnut and cashew prototypes have already been developed.
The company is utilising its internal research and development capabilities to advance food allergy research, diagnosis, and clinical practice.
