Description
Saradiva Bilqisyah Azka and co-authors validated a DNA test for chicken in food products in a 2026 methods study. Their test targets a short stretch of a mitochondrial gene and uses quantitative PCR to detect chicken specifically, a tool for catching mislabelled meat.
The test stayed precise and showed no reaction with beef, pork, sheep, squid, shrimp, or duck DNA. It detected chicken down to tiny amounts, including half a percent mixed into other DNA. Applied to 17 shop products, it found undeclared chicken in seven of eleven items sold as pure beef. Cheap, sensitive checks like this give regulators a way to police honest labelling.
