Who we are

A private allergy testing service with genuine clinical depth

Private service: FoodAllergyTest.co.uk is a fee-paying private medical service. It is not part of the NHS and is not funded by public money. All costs are paid by the patient at the point of ordering.

FoodAllergyTest.co.uk was developed to make high-quality allergy testing more accessible across the UK while retaining the clinical standards patients would expect from a specialist-led service.

Our approach is simple. We combine laboratory-based allergy blood testing with access to experienced allergy and immunology consultants, so patients are not left trying to interpret numbers on their own.

This means clearer answers, better context, and a more practical route from testing to next steps, whether that involves reassurance, avoidance advice, medication guidance, or further specialist assessment.

What we offer

Many postal testing services stop at sending a laboratory report. Our service is designed to go further, with a clearer patient journey, stronger clinical framing, and access to specialist advice when it matters most.

Over 600 individual allergy tests

Specific IgE blood testing for food allergens, respiratory triggers, drug reactions, insect venoms, and occupational allergens.

Home postal sample kits across the UK

Order online, collect your sample at home, and return it by post using the enclosed return packaging.

Specialist consultant access

Patients can arrange a private remote consultation to review results in clinical context with an experienced allergy and immunology consultant.

Clear management planning

Where appropriate, consultants can advise on avoidance strategies, medication, dietary considerations, and onward referral.

Adults and children

The service is suitable for adults and children, including families seeking structured support around food and environmental allergy concerns.

Why it matters

The importance of IgE-based allergy testing and specialist interpretation

Allergy blood testing can be useful when it is selected appropriately and interpreted alongside symptoms and clinical history. A laboratory number on its own does not tell the whole story.

This is why specialist input matters. A consultant can help distinguish between sensitisation, likely clinical allergy, and results that may not explain symptoms in a meaningful way.

For patients who need broader assessment, our ALEX allergy test offers advanced molecular testing with a wide allergen panel, helping to build a more detailed picture where clinically appropriate.

The process

From order to specialist support in four simple steps

1. Choose your test

Browse individual allergy tests or wider panels for food, respiratory, and other allergy concerns.

2. Collect your sample at home

Your home kit is delivered by post with instructions and return packaging.

3. Laboratory analysis

Your sample is processed using established laboratory methods for allergy blood testing.

4. Review your next steps

Arrange a private remote consultation if you would like specialist interpretation and practical management advice.

Consultant access

The specialist insight that sets the service apart

A laboratory result is often only one part of the picture. Clinical history, timing of symptoms, severity, co-existing conditions, and exposure patterns all matter.

That is why consultant review remains central to the service. It helps translate test data into clearer, safer, and more practical decisions.
