Sensitivity: Advanced Food Allergy Panel (Quest)

What this panel includes

IgE allergy testing for common foods including: Almond, Cashew, Codfish, Cow's milk, Egg white, Hazelnut, Peanut, Salmon, Scallop, Sesame seed, Shrimp, Soybean, Tuna, Walnut, and Wheat.

If indicated by the test initial test results, an additional reflex component test will be performed on the following:

• Milk components: Alpha-lactalbumin, Beta-lactoglobulin, Casein

• Egg components: Ovalbumin, Ovomucoid

• Peanut components: Ara h 1, Ara h 2, Ara h 3, Ara h 6, Ara h 8, Ara h 9

Why patients choose this

• A structured evaluation of IgE-mediated immune reactions to common foods, the antibodies tied to immediate allergic responses.
• Helpful for those with suspected food-related reactions, unexplained immune or inflammatory symptoms, or anyone seeking clarity before making dietary changes.
• Unlike generalized "food sensitivity" testing, this panel specifically evaluates IgE-driven allergic responses.
• Includes automatic reflex component testing when initial IgE levels meet established thresholds, adding detail about the type and potential severity of the response.
• Schedule your lab test seamlessly and complete it at a lab near you.

Before your test

It is recommended to fast for at least 8 hours before your draw.

Important information

Why it matters: IgE antibodies are associated with immediate hypersensitivity responses and may contribute to symptoms such as hives, swelling, digestive distress, respiratory symptoms, or more severe allergic reactions.

Who it's for: appropriate for those with suspected food-related reactions, unexplained immune or inflammatory symptoms, or anyone seeking clarity before making dietary eliminations.

This panel evaluates IgE-mediated allergy specifically, not generalized "food sensitivity," and results are interpreted by a clinician alongside your history.
