About this test

This test measures IgE antibodies against 60 common food allergens, covering groups such as dairy, nuts, seafood, fruit and grains. It is aimed at people with ongoing symptoms, such as skin irritation or digestive discomfort, who suspect a food-related trigger.

At £139.99 it sits close in price to YorkTest's comparable Food Allergy Test (£139, 42 markers), and 53% below the £299 median for the wider allergy comparison group, where tests such as Medichecks' Allergy Screens cover only one or two markers for £229 or more. Within the provider's own range, it costs less than the broader Food & Environmental Allergy Test (£159.99, 117 items) and Premium Allergy Test (£169.99, 174 items).

It scores near the top for both clinical depth and value for money, reflecting a marker count well above the group median at a price below it. It scores lowest for results and follow-up, since results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you suspect a food-specific allergy and want a focused panel rather than a combined food-and-environmental test. If you want more markers for a similar budget, the provider's own Food & Environmental Allergy Test covers 117 items for £159.99; if cost is the only factor, YorkTest's Food Allergy Test covers 42 items for a similar £139.

How it works

You take a finger-prick blood sample at home and post it to the lab in the provided return envelope, with the provider stating results in three working days from receipt. Every order includes a 30-minute consultation with a certified nutritionist. Results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.
