Cashew nuts are commonly consumed in an array of forms, such as raw, roasted, etc. Cashew nuts are known to have allergen proteins Ana-o-1, Ana-o-2 and Ana-o-3 which produce severe allergic reactions.

Testing IgE levels helps healthcare providers diagnose and guide allergen-specific immunotherapy.
