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.

What it measures

  • Chicken-specific IgE — reflects allergic antibody response to chicken proteins
  • 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
  • Lamb-specific IgE — reflects allergic antibody response to lamb proteins

What the test involves

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