About the Mustard Allergy Test - Food Allergies
A mustard allergy test uses a blood sample to measure allergen-specific IgE antibodies against mustard proteins from mustard seed. Mustard is used as a condiment and as a hidden ingredient in sauces, dressings, and spice blends, and it is recognized as an important food allergen in some regions. The test is a screening tool for suspected food allergy, not a diagnosis on its own. A provider may order it after a reaction to mustard or related foods. Results are interpreted with symptoms and medical history.
What this test measures
- Mustard-specific IgE Antibodies produced against mustard proteins; used to assess sensitization to mustard.
Who this test may be right for
- People who develop hives, itching, or swelling after eating mustard
- Individuals with tingling or itching in the mouth after mustard or dressings
- Those with digestive upset, nausea, or diarrhea after mustard
- People with eczema or skin reactions who suspect a spice trigger
- Anyone who has reacted to related plants such as broccoli, cabbage, or rapeseed
Before your visit

- The blood sample can be collected at any time of day
- Tell the provider about all medications you take
- No special diet is needed beforehand
Understanding your results
Results are reported as an IgE level or class for mustard. An elevated value may indicate sensitization, but sensitization does not always mean a person will react when eating mustard. A low or undetectable level makes a true mustard allergy less likely, though it does not rule one out. Mustard belongs to the same plant family as broccoli, cabbage, and rapeseed, so a provider may consider cross-reactivity. Discuss all results with a healthcare provider before changing your diet.
