Understanding The Test
What Does the Food Sensitivity Map 270 Analyse?
The Food Sensitivity Map 270 measures IgG antibody responses to a broad range of foods and drinks. Rather than simply providing a positive or negative result, the laboratory analysis measures the relative response associated with each item tested.
Individual Food Responses
- IgG responses to more than 270 foods and drinks
- Relative response intensity for each item
- Classification of responses within your results
Patterns Across Your Diet
- Responses across major food groups
- Overall patterns within the tested panel
- Information to support nutritional discussions and planning
this test measures IgG antibody responses. It is not a test for food allergy and should not be used to diagnose an allergy or another medical condition. The clinical usefulness of IgG testing for identifying food intolerance is debated, so results should be considered alongside symptoms, diet and appropriate professional advice.

An Important Difference
Food IgG Responses vs Food Allergies
These are different immune responses and the Food Sensitivity Map 270 must not be used as a substitute for medical allergy testing.
Food Allergy Testing
Food allergies typically involve IgE-mediated immune responses and may cause immediate symptoms such as hives, swelling or breathing difficulties. You can read more about
allergy-specific IgE antibody testing
from Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Food IgG Testing
This product measures IgG antibody responses to foods. IgG results do not diagnose a food allergy, and the clinical usefulness of IgG testing for identifying food intolerance remains debated. Significant symptoms, suspected allergies or major dietary changes should be discussed with an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
