This panel screens for IgE-mediated sensitization to common food allergens including milk, egg, wheat, soy, peanut, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish. Identifying specific allergens helps guide avoidance and inform discussions about supervised challenges and immunotherapy.
This test is used in patients with suspected food allergies, eczema, or anaphylaxis. Results should be interpreted with clinical history, since sensitization without clinical reactivity is common. Sample type is serum.
