Specific testing for IgE sensitization should be guided by the medical history.	Strong consensus
Detection of IgE sensitization to foods and aeroallergens should be by specific IgE determination and/or skin prick testing.	Consensus
Specific IgE determination and skin prick testing support the diagnosis of food allergy in the context of history and/or food provocation.	Strong consensus
Detection of sensitization by specific IgE determination or skin prick test does not prove the clinical relevance of the food tested and should not alone lead to therapeutic elimination.	Strong consensus
Lack of evidence of sensitization (negative specific IgE/skin prick test) often, but not certainly, excludes clinically relevant IgE-mediated food allergy.	Consensus
