What this test is

The 5 Salad Vegetables Allergy Test Panel is a blood test that measures immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies to spinach, tomato, cucumber, celery, and lettuce. Elevated IgE levels to any of these foods may suggest an allergic sensitivity, but results are interpreted alongside your symptoms and medical history.

What it measures

  • Spinach-specific IgE — reflects allergic sensitization to spinach
  • Tomato-specific IgE — reflects allergic sensitization to tomato
  • Cucumber-specific IgE — reflects allergic sensitization to cucumber
  • Celery-specific IgE — reflects allergic sensitization to celery
  • Lettuce-specific IgE — reflects allergic sensitization to lettuce

What the test involves

A healthcare professional collects a small blood sample 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 panel if you experience allergic symptoms such as hives, itching, or digestive upset after eating salads or specific vegetables. It helps identify potential triggers when a food allergy is suspected.

How results are reported

Results are reported as numerical values for each specific IgE antibody, often alongside a qualitative interpretation such as negative, low, or high. Reference ranges vary by laboratory, so your results should be discussed with your healthcare provider.
