Molecular species detection in food has become common in the last 10 years. The methods are sensitive enough to detect small, but relevant, amounts of one species in composed food. We have developed a strategy for detecting different animal species in food by molecular means. This strategy uses a combination of published PCR systems and new developed PCR primer systems for the detection of porcine, bovine, ovine, avian, cervine and equine DNA by PCR followed by restriction analysis (PCR-RFLP). In some cases, analysis is completed by DNA sequencing. The species detection system includes an amplification control and so is in accordance with the relevant food standards.
