Meat allergy testing uses a blood sample to measure immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies that react to specific meats. The panel described here screens for sensitivity to chicken, turkey, beef, pork, and lamb. Results can help distinguish a true immune response from other reactions to food.

About Meat Allergy Testing | Allergies to Meat in Lockport

Meat allergy is an immune reaction to proteins found in animal muscle.

When the immune system mistakenly identifies a meat protein as a threat, it produces IgE antibodies directed against that protein. These antibodies bind to immune cells, and subsequent exposure can trigger the release of histamine and other chemicals that cause symptoms.

Reactions may include hives, itching, swelling, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, or in severe cases difficulty breathing. Symptoms typically appear within minutes to a few hours after eating the meat, though some reactions are delayed.

A blood test detects the presence of specific IgE antibodies for each meat tested. The results are reported as a numeric value or class and are interpreted alongside a person's history and other findings by a qualified health professional.
