Allergen, Individual-Food Cocoa Chocolate (Theobroma Cacao) F93

The Allergen, Individual-Food Cocoa Chocolate (Theobroma Cacao) F93 is a lab‑certified at‑home diagnostic that detects IgE‑mediated sensitisation to cocoa (chocolate). The test measures specific IgE antibodies against Theobroma cacao from a small blood sample collected at home, producing a quantitative result that helps identify immediate-type allergic responses and guides clinical decision‑making.

This test is useful for individuals in Dubai and the UAE who experience hives, angioedema, breathing difficulty, gastrointestinal symptoms, or unexplained eczema after consuming chocolate, and for caregivers assessing risk before introducing chocolate to at‑risk infants. Results support personalised dietary guidance and allergy management plans, but must be interpreted alongside clinical history by a qualified physician since non‑IgE‑mediated reactions will not be detected by this assay.

• Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) specific IgE (sIgE)
• Quantitative IgE concentration (kU/L)
• Sensitisation class / result interpretation (e.g., Class 0–6)
• Capillary blood sample reported with laboratory reference ranges

• Immediate hives, swelling, or breathing difficulty after eating chocolate
• Recurrent vomiting, abdominal pain, or diarrhea linked to chocolate intake
• Unexplained eczema flares suspected to be triggered by chocolate
• Family history of food allergy before introducing chocolate to infants
• To confirm suspected chocolate sensitivity for personalised diet planning

• Lab‑certified at‑home sample collection across Dubai and the UAE
• Quantitative results to support clinician and dietitian recommendations
• Reduces risk of accidental exposure through informed dietary changes
• Fast turnaround with secure online reporting and professional interpretation
• Supports targeted allergy management and follow‑up planning

• At‑home capillary blood collection (finger‑prick) by a trained collector
• No fasting required; antihistamines do not affect specific IgE blood results
• Provide accurate recent symptom and food‑exposure history at collection
• Valid UAE ID and signed consent; suitable for adults and children with clinician oversight
