What this test is

This test detects specific IgE antibodies in the blood that are associated with an allergic reaction to mustard proteins. It is typically used alongside a clinical history to help evaluate suspected food allergies. The test does not diagnose an allergy on its own; results are interpreted by a healthcare provider.

What it measures

  • Mustard-specific IgE — Reflects the level of allergic antibodies directed against mustard proteins.
  • Total IgE — Sometimes measured to provide context for allergic antibody levels, though not always included.
  • Other food-specific IgE — May be tested simultaneously to check for allergies to other common foods.

What the test involves

A healthcare professional collects a small sample of blood, usually from a vein in your arm, using a standard blood draw. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Why it is often ordered

A clinician may order this test when a person reports symptoms such as hives, swelling, or digestive upset after eating mustard or foods containing mustard. It can help determine whether an immune response to mustard is likely contributing to those symptoms.

Preparation

No special preparation is typically required for this blood test, but you should follow any specific instructions provided by the collection laboratory. This may include fasting or avoiding certain medications, depending on the lab's protocol.

How results are reported

Results are reported as a numerical value or a qualitative category, such as negative, low, or high, based on the level of specific IgE detected. Reference ranges vary by laboratory, so your results should always be interpreted using the range provided by the testing lab.

Before you go

  • Whether any medications you take could affect the test results
  • If fasting or other preparation is required by the collection lab
