Order Meat Allergy Testing | Allergies to MeatMeat allergy testing measures immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies directed against specific meats.

About Meat Allergy Testing | Allergies to Meat in Salisbury
Meat allergy testing assesses IgE antibodies to five common meats in a single panel.
The panel reports results for chicken, turkey, beef, pork, and lamb. Each allergen is measured separately, so a reaction to one meat does not necessarily indicate a reaction to another.
IgE antibodies are part of the immune system's response to normally harmless proteins. When a person is sensitized to a meat protein, IgE antibodies specific to that protein can be detected in the blood.
Results are interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional in the context of symptoms, dietary history, and other findings. A positive result indicates sensitization, which may or may not correspond to clinical allergy.
