Order Cheese, Mold Type Allergy TestingAllergic reactions to cheese are not limited to milk proteins.

The Cheese, Mold Type Allergy Profile measures immunoglobulin E antibodies directed at mold-type cheeses, helping to distinguish a true immune response from other causes of discomfort after eating.
About Cheese, Mold Type Allergy Testing in Dana Point
Mold-ripened cheeses depend on fungal cultures, and the immune system can learn to recognize their proteins as foreign.
Soft white cheeses such as Camembert and Brie are ripened by Penicillium camemberti, while blue-veined varieties including Gorgonzola and Roquefort rely on Penicillium roqueforti. These fungi contribute proteins that may act as allergens in sensitized individuals.
An IgE blood test detects antibodies that bind specifically to mold-type cheese allergens. Because the test examines the immune system rather than the digestive process, it does not require eating the cheese and is not affected by recent meals.
Results are interpreted alongside a clinical history. A positive finding indicates sensitization, which may or may not correspond to symptoms, while a negative finding makes an IgE-mediated reaction to these molds less likely.
