What this test is

This test measures specific IgE antibodies in your blood that react to proteins from five types of meat. Elevated levels can suggest a sensitivity, but results are interpreted alongside your symptom history and other findings.

  • Turkey-specific IgE — reflects allergic antibody response to turkey proteins
  • Beef-specific IgE — reflects allergic antibody response to beef proteins
  • Pork-specific IgE — reflects allergic antibody response to pork proteins
