The Food Additives Test is a blood-based panel that evaluates immune responses to commonly used preservatives, colorants, and food flavor enhancers. Utilizing advanced peptide microarray technology, this test helps identify potential food additive sensitivities that may contribute to inflammation and adverse reactions, guiding personalized dietary interventions.
You may benefit from this test if you have:
Frequent bloating, diarrhea, or IBS
Unexplained headaches or migraines
Chronic fatigue or brain fog
Persistent skin issues like eczema
Joint pain or inflammatory symptoms
Respiratory issues like asthma
A history of food sensitivities
Neurological concerns or cognitive issues
Comprehensive Sensitivity Testing
- Broad Range of Additives Tested detects immune reactivity to common food preservatives, colorants, and flavor enhancers, covering more additives than many standard tests.
- Advanced Peptide Microarray Technology ensures highly accurate detection of food additive sensitivities, allowing for a clearer understanding of how additives impact health.
Informed Dietary Planning
- Personalized Health Management helps individuals adjust their diet based on detected sensitivities to food additives.
- Reduces Inflammation & Symptoms supports dietary changes that reduce symptoms linked to food additive intolerance.

Why It Matters
The Food Additives Test identifies sensitivities to common food additives like preservatives, artificial colors, and flavor enhancers. These additives can trigger chronic symptoms such as headaches, digestive discomfort, and fatigue, often overlooked as potential health issues.
The Food Sensitivity Complete offers a broader analysis of food sensitivities, helping identify reactions to a wide range of foods, including those containing food additives. This test provides a more comprehensive understanding of sensitivities that may overlap and contribute to similar symptoms.
Key Insights
Identifies immune responses to food additives commonly found in processed foods, providing valuable insights into hidden triggers that contribute to chronic digestive and immune system issues.
Evaluates immune responses to over 100 different foods, offering deeper insights into dietary triggers that may be contributing to inflammation, fatigue, and other chronic symptoms.
What’s Measured
Measures IgG and IgA responses to common food additives, including artificial sweeteners, flavors, colors, and preservatives.
Measures IgG and IgA-mediated immune responses to over 100 foods, providing an extensive analysis of food sensitivities that complements the specific additive focus of the Food Additives Test.
