The 5 Salad Vegetables Allergy Test Panel is a blood test that measures immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies against five foods commonly eaten raw in salads. It helps identify whether allergic symptoms that appear after eating salad or fresh produce, such as itching, hives, swelling, or digestive upset, may be linked to a specific vegetable. Unlike skin-prick testing, a single blood draw screens all five allergens at once. It is useful for anyone investigating suspected oral allergy syndrome or a food-specific reaction, and results are always interpreted together with your symptom history.

• People who notice itching, hives, or swelling after eating raw salads or specific vegetables.
• Individuals with oral allergy syndrome tied to pollen allergies, such as birch pollen.
• Anyone who has had a suspected food reaction and wants to identify a possible trigger.
• People managing a known food allergy who want to confirm or broaden their allergen profile.
• Caregivers of children with unexplained symptoms after eating fresh produce.

• Spinach-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to spinach proteins.
• Tomato-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies directed against tomato allergens.
• Cucumber-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that bind to cucumber proteins.
• Celery-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies against celery, a food often linked to pollen-related reactions.
• Lettuce-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to lettuce proteins.

• No fasting is required.
• Continue your usual medications unless a healthcare provider advises otherwise.
• Avoid antihistamines for about 72 hours before testing only if instructed by your provider, since they may affect some allergy results.
• Bring a list of foods and symptoms you have noticed so results can be interpreted in context.

Results report the level of IgE antibodies for each vegetable. A higher level may suggest sensitisation to that food, while a low or undetectable level makes allergy less likely. IgE levels alone cannot confirm a diagnosis or predict how severe a reaction will be, since some sensitised people have no symptoms. A healthcare provider should interpret the numbers alongside your history and may recommend further evaluation. Discuss any positive or unexpected result with a healthcare provider before changing your diet.
