Food Allergy Panel (IgE) with Reflex Testing
Screens IgE sensitization to 15 of the foods most likely to trigger allergic reactions.
Consider this test if:
- Hives, swelling, mouth itching, vomiting, or wheezing after eating and the trigger is unclear
- A prior reaction to one of these foods that you want to characterize before reintroducing it
- Deciding which foods are safe to keep in the diet versus worth a supervised challenge
- Skin-prick testing is impractical due to eczema, dermographism, or ongoing antihistamine use
- Building a baseline before working with an allergist on an elimination or reintroduction plan
- HSA/FSA eligible
- Results delivered to your dashboard · Reviewed by a real clinician
- Drawn at a CLIA/CAP-accredited lab near you ·
Reflex testing
If your egg white, cow's milk, or peanut result comes back out of range, the matching allergen component panel runs automatically to help refine the picture and gauge reaction risk. This is done at no additional cost.
Pre-test considerations
No fasting required, and antihistamines do not affect blood IgE testing, so you do not need to stop them beforehand. Bring a record of which foods provoked symptoms and how quickly, since the numbers are interpreted against your reaction history.

What this test is for
This panel covers 15 common food allergy triggers: almond, cashew, codfish, cow's milk, egg white, hazelnut, peanut, salmon, scallop, sesame seed, shrimp, soybean, tuna, walnut, and wheat. It measures IgE antibodies to each food, the antibody class that drives immediate allergic reactions like hives, swelling, vomiting, wheezing, and anaphylaxis. A positive result means sensitization, not a confirmed allergy: many IgE-sensitized people eat the food with no symptoms, so results are read against your actual reaction history. It is most useful when symptoms point to food but the culprit is unclear, or when reactions span several foods at once.
Biomarkers tested
Includes 26 biomarkers
This test measures IgE antibodies specific to almond, the immune protein that flags almond proteins as threats and triggers histamine release on exposure. A positive result explains hives, swelling, itching, stomach upset, or more serious reactions after eating almonds or foods processed with them, and helps confirm almond as the trigger when a nut allergy is suspected but not yet pinned down. Pair it with other tree nut IgE panels if reactions happen around mixed nut products, since cross-reactivity between tree nuts is common.

This test measures IgE antibodies specific to cashew, the immune proteins your body builds after identifying cashew as a threat rather than food. On re-exposure, these antibodies trigger mast cells to release histamine, driving reactions that range from hives and itching to lip or throat swelling and, in severe cases, anaphylaxis. It's useful for confirming a suspected cashew allergy after a reaction, or for investigating unexplained hives, swelling, or gut symptoms tied to tree nut exposure, since cashew often cross-reacts with pistachio allergy.

This test measures IgE antibodies your immune system has built specifically against codfish proteins, using the RAST method to detect prior sensitization. A positive result means your immune system recognizes cod as a threat and will trigger histamine release (hives, swelling, GI upset, or in severe cases anaphylaxis) on exposure. It's most useful for tracing unexplained reactions after eating fish or seafood, or for confirming a suspected fish allergy before you eliminate it from your diet unnecessarily.

This test detects IgE antibodies your immune system has built specifically against egg white proteins, the ones responsible for triggering allergic reactions rather than just food sensitivity. A positive result explains hives, swelling, stomach upset, or more serious reactions after eating eggs, and helps distinguish a true egg allergy from other causes of digestive discomfort. It's a useful starting point if you suspect an egg trigger but have never confirmed it, or if you're mapping out a broader pattern of food reactivity.

This test measures IgE antibodies your immune system has built specifically against hazelnut proteins, the mast-cell trigger behind true hazelnut allergy. A positive result means your immune system recognizes hazelnut as a threat and releases histamine on contact, explaining reactions like hives, swelling, itching, or GI upset after eating it (or cross-reactive foods like birch pollen relatives). It's most useful for confirming a suspected hazelnut allergy, distinguishing it from general food intolerance, or checking whether sensitization has changed over time.

This test detects IgE antibodies your immune system has built specifically against milk proteins, checking whether it has flagged milk as a threat rather than a food. A positive result explains recurring reactions like hives, stomach pain, bloating, eczema flares, or throat tightness after eating dairy, and separates true milk allergy from lactose intolerance, which runs on a completely different mechanism (digestion, not immunity). Run it when you suspect a milk allergy, before reintroducing dairy after eliminating it, or to build a clear baseline of what your immune system reacts to.

Peanut IgE measures allergen-specific antibodies your immune system built against peanut proteins, the same antibodies that trigger histamine release on exposure. A positive result confirms sensitization and helps explain hives, swelling, GI upset, or more severe reactions after peanut exposure, distinguishing true allergy from intolerance or a one-off reaction. This is useful for confirming a suspected allergy, tracking whether sensitization is fading over time, or clarifying risk before reintroducing peanut into a diet.

This test measures IgE antibodies your immune system builds specifically against salmon proteins, the same antibodies that trigger allergic reactions on re-exposure. A positive result means your immune system has flagged salmon as a threat and releases histamine on contact, producing hives, swelling, stomach upset, or, in severe cases, anaphylaxis. It's worth checking if you've had a reaction after eating salmon or other fish, or if you're building an elimination diet and want to confirm what's actually driving your symptoms rather than guessing.

This test detects IgE antibodies your immune system has built specifically against sesame proteins. When mast cells carrying sesame-specific IgE meet sesame again, they release histamine and trigger the hives, swelling, stomach upset, or anaphylaxis of a true food allergy. It's worth checking if you've had a reaction after eating sesame (tahini, hummus, sesame oil, buns) or want to confirm a suspected allergy before an elimination trial or reintroduction.

This test measures IgE antibodies specific to shrimp (Pandalus borealis), the immune messengers that flag shrimp proteins as a threat and trigger mast cells to release histamine on exposure. A positive result confirms sensitization and helps explain hives, lip or throat swelling, stomach cramps, or more serious reactions after eating shrimp or other shellfish. It's useful for pinning down a suspected shellfish allergy, distinguishing it from unrelated food intolerances, and deciding whether shrimp needs to come off the menu for good.

This test detects IgE antibodies your immune system has built specifically against soybean proteins, the antibody it deploys to trigger rapid allergic reactions like hives, swelling, stomach upset, or breathing trouble. A positive result confirms your body treats soy as a threat and helps explain reactions after edamame, tofu, soy milk, or the soy-based fillers hidden in many processed foods. It's especially useful if you've noticed a pattern of symptoms after soy-containing meals but haven't pinned down the trigger, or if you're clearing other allergens and want soy checked off the list.

This test detects IgE antibodies specific to walnut, the immune marker your body builds when it mistakes walnut proteins for a threat. A positive result means your immune system is primed to react on exposure, triggering histamine release that shows up as hives, lip or throat swelling, stomach upset, or in severe cases anaphylaxis. It's useful for confirming a suspected walnut allergy after a reaction, or for investigating unexplained symptoms after eating foods that may contain walnut or cross-reactive tree nuts.

Frequently asked questions
View all FAQsHow does pricing work?
Every test shows the member price next to the standard non-member price, so you can see what membership saves you. The member price is our cost — covering the lab and what it takes to run the service — never a profit on the test itself; Mito makes its money on the $9 membership, not on marking up your tests. Membership is $9/mo, and you still pay the lab’s order fee. Prices are itemized before you pay, with no hidden fees.
Where do I get tested?
Choose a partner lab (Quest, Labcorp, or BioReference) at checkout. If your cart spans multiple tests, we consolidate the whole order onto a single lab so you only make one visit.
Is this eligible for HSA/FSA?
Yes. This test is HSA/FSA eligible, and you can pay with your HSA/FSA card at checkout.
When will I get my results?
Your results post to your dashboard once your lab completes them, then a clinician reviews them and your full analysis and personalized action plan (with clear next steps) follow. Turnaround varies by test: specialty assays and at-home kits take longer, and each test shows its expected turnaround before you buy.
Do I need a doctor’s order?
No. Mito provides the lab order for you, so you can book and get tested without a separate doctor visit.
