Who is the daddy? Now you can find out yourself with new home paternity test kit at Boots.

Parents worried about who the father of their child is can now find out with a new paternity test kit available at Boots.

The £29.99 piece of kit is the first one to be approved for sale on the high street.

The kit by assuredna, is 99.99 per cent accurate and works by sending swabs from  inside the mouth of the potential parents and children and posting to Anglia DNA for analysis.

But signed consent and identification documents from all parties concerned and an additional £129 lab fee will be needed to process the test.
 
Spokesperson for Anglia DNA, Dr Mandy Hartley said: “Every paternity issue is different, but for the majority of cases, families receive the results they were expecting.

“assuredna provides families with peace of mind so they can move on with their lives. Around half of all tests we conduct are related to children under 12 months, helping confirm paternity before the child has matured and is fully
aware.”
