Used to diagnose sensitization to chocolate and cacao bean allergens in patients with suspected food allergies, atopic dermatitis, or unexplained allergic reactions after consuming chocolate products. Helps distinguish true IgE-mediated allergy from other adverse food reactions.
Contains diluted protein extracts from cacao beans that, when applied to the skin via a prick or scratch test, provoke a localized allergic response in sensitized individuals. Positive reactions (wheal and flare) indicate the presence of cacao-specific IgE antibodies.
For diagnostic use only by trained allergists. Extracts may vary in potency. Patients should discontinue antihistamines prior to testing per provider instructions. Emergency equipment should be available. Results interpretation requires clinical correlation. Not intended for therapeutic desensitization.
