Orders are handled confidentially: your details stay private and results are released through a secure portal. Availability, hours, preparation, and pricing differ by collection site, so confirm those details with the lab before you go.
What it measures
- Strawberry-specific IgE — The main marker; a higher level suggests your immune system may react to strawberry proteins.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic antibody levels in your blood.
- Component proteins (such as Fra a 1) — Specific strawberry proteins that can help show which part of the fruit may trigger a reaction.
- Cross-reactive markers — Proteins shared with other fruits or pollens that can cause similar symptoms.
Preparation
No fasting is required. Tell the person drawing your blood about any allergy or asthma medicines you take, since some can affect test results.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a number or class for each marker, often alongside a reference range. A clinician interprets your results together with your symptoms and history; a positive result alone does not always mean you are allergic. This is general information, not medical advice.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to stop eating strawberries before the test?
No. The test measures antibodies already in your blood, so you do not need to avoid strawberries beforehand unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
How long does it take to get results?
Most blood allergy tests are ready in 1 to 3 business days, though timing can vary by lab.
Can this test tell me how severe a reaction will be?
No. It shows whether antibodies are present, but it cannot predict how mild or severe a future reaction might be.
Is this test safe?
Yes. It uses a standard blood draw and does not expose you to strawberries, so it cannot trigger an allergic reaction.
