Order Meat Allergy Testing | Allergies to MeatMeat allergy testing uses a blood sample to measure immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies that react to specific meats. The immune system can mistake proteins in meat for harmless substances and produce IgE against them, which may trigger symptoms after eating the meat. This panel screens for sensitivity to five common meats: chicken, turkey, beef, pork, and lamb.
About Meat Allergy Testing | Allergies to Meat in Berkeley
A meat allergy blood test measures IgE antibodies directed at proteins from individual meats.
IgE is an antibody class involved in immediate allergic reactions. When a person is sensitized to a meat protein, IgE antibodies bind to that protein and can activate immune cells that release histamine and other mediators.
The panel reports results for chicken, turkey, beef, pork, and lamb separately, because reactivity to one meat does not necessarily mean reactivity to another. Some people react to a single meat, while others react to several.
A blood test result is one piece of information. Sensitization on a lab report does not always cause symptoms, and symptoms can occur without a positive test. Results are interpreted alongside a person's history and other findings.
