Food and Environment Allergy Test

The YorkTest Food & Environmental Allergy Test is different from their Food Intolerance Test because it measures allergy-related IgE antibodies, which are the antibodies involved in immediate allergic reactions.

What it tests

Food Allergens (23)

Examples include:

• Cow's milk
• Egg white
• Wheat
• Rice
• Soy
• Peanut
• Various nuts
• Chicken
• Beef
• Pork

Environmental Allergens (19)

Examples include:

• House dust mite
• Cat dander
• Dog dander
• Horse dander
• Grass pollens
• Tree pollens (e.g., birch)
• Other common UK airborne allergens

Clinical value

Of the YorkTest offerings you've asked about, this is the one that aligns most closely with conventional allergy medicine because it measures allergen-specific IgE antibodies, the same class of antibodies used in NHS allergy blood testing and specialist allergy practice
