Vanilla (f234) IgE details
What Vanilla (f234) IgE shows
Vanilla comes from the cured seed pods of an orchid and is used to flavour desserts, drinks and many processed foods, as well as some cosmetics. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to vanilla proteins to check whether your immune system is sensitized to it. It can help look into reactions such as hives, itching or swelling after eating vanilla-flavoured foods. Many products use synthetic vanillin, which does not contain the same proteins as natural vanilla. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily a clinical allergy, and is interpreted against your symptoms and history.
