A comprehensive IgE food allergy panel testing specific antibody responses to 80 individual food items, covering common and less common allergens across nuts, dairy, grains, seafood, fruits, vegetables, meats, and spices. The most extensive food allergy blood screen in the Bloedwaardentest catalogue.
Food allergies mediated by IgE antibodies can produce reactions ranging from mild oral itching and hives to severe anaphylaxis. While the most common culprits — peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, and fish — account for the majority of severe reactions, many individuals react to less obvious triggers that may not be captured by a basic food allergy panel. This 80-food panel provides the broadest IgE screening available through Bloedwaardentest, casting a wide net across the full spectrum of dietary allergens. The panel tests each food individually rather than using pooled allergen mixes, which means positive results identify the specific food responsible rather than merely flagging a food group. This specificity is essential for making practical dietary decisions and for guiding further investigation through oral food challenges if needed. Foods tested span the major categories including dairy, eggs, grains, nuts, legumes, seafood, fruits, vegetables, meats, and selected spices. At EUR 297, this panel is positioned for individuals who suspect food allergies but have not been able to identify the trigger through elimination alone, those with a history of unexplained allergic symptoms after eating, and anyone who wants a comprehensive IgE food sensitisation map before embarking on a structured elimination diet. It is important to note that IgE testing measures sensitisation, and a positive result should be interpreted in the clinical context of actual symptoms.
