The Berry Fruit Allergy Panel determines whether or not you are allergic to various fruits. Fruit allergies occur when the body views certain fruits as toxins and triggers an immune response to combat them. Depending on the type of allergy, reactions may occur when fruit touches the skin or only when consumed. Reactions can range from mild and irritating to potentially life-threatening, which is why it's best to know what fruits you're allergic to and what to do should you accidentally come in contact or eat something that can put you in danger.
The Berry Fruit Allergy Panel is comprised of five tests for the following fruits:
How Our Berry Fruit Allergy Panel Works
Once you place your order for the Berry Fruit Allergy Panel, simply stop by one of our 4,000+ nationwide testing facilities when convenient and have your sample collected. A certified staff member will take a small blood sample at which point your job is complete. The process is painless and takes only a few minutes. In fact, most patients are in and out of the facility in under a half-hour. From there, your sample will be processed in a CLIA-certified laboratory. You’ll have complete results in as little as 24-72 hours regarding any potential allergies to strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries and/or avocados.
Common Symptoms
Fruit allergies are most generally associated with oral allergy syndrome (or pollen-fruit allergy syndrome) during which the body falsely recognizes the proteins in certain fruits as pollen (a common allergen). When an allergy is triggered, common symptoms include itching or tingling of the mouth, sneezing, nausea, diarrhea, and/or swelling of the tongue, lips or throat. In extreme cases, fruit allergies can trigger anaphylaxis, leading to severe throat-swelling, difficulty breathing, low blood pressure and even loss of consciousness or shock. In these cases, you’ll want to seek out emergency medical attention.
How to Interpret Your Results
Delivered via our secure portal, your results will provide a complete list of all potential allergens along with your quantifiable result and reference range. The chart will include a column that declares in plain language whether each result is in the normal range or if it is “flagged”. Any flagged items can be interpreted as potential allergens.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
An “allergic reaction” occurs when your body’s immune system reacts to an otherwise non-threatening substance (or “allergen”) that most people would not react to such as pollen, pet dander or certain foods. The body’s immune system produces antibodies that identify the allergen as a threat. Allergic reactions can range in severity from person to person and may include sneezing, itching, tingling of the mouth, swelling or difficulty breathing. More severe allergic reactions can include anaphylaxis and may require immediate medical attention. Allergic reactions can occur from consuming, inhaling or touching an allergen.
-
Among those with known food allergies, fruit allergies make up only a small percentage of the overall population. It’s difficult to provide an exact figure as so many who are allergic to certain fruits will show only subtle symptoms and may go undiagnosed. Overall, fruit allergies are more prevalent in young children than they are in adults.
