Order Tomato Allergy Test | Food AllergiesA tomato allergy test measures the amount of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the blood that are specific to tomato proteins.

About Tomato Allergy Test | Food Allergies in Pekin
Tomato allergy testing is a blood-based assay that quantifies IgE antibodies directed against tomato allergens.
The test uses a blood sample to detect specific IgE antibodies that bind to proteins found in tomatoes. IgE is the class of antibody associated with immediate-type allergic reactions, and its presence at elevated levels can support a diagnosis when considered alongside a person's medical history and symptoms.
Tomato allergy can present with symptoms ranging from mild oral itching and hives to more severe reactions involving the gastrointestinal or respiratory systems. Because reactions can be triggered by raw or cooked tomato and by products such as sauces and juices, testing is typically ordered when a clinician suspects an immune-mediated response to tomato.
Results are reported as a quantitative or semi-quantitative value for tomato-specific IgE. These values are interpreted in the context of clinical findings; a detectable antibody level does not by itself confirm an allergy, and a low level does not always exclude one. Testing is therefore used as one component of a broader allergy evaluation.
