YorkTest sells at‑home, lab‑analysed food‑intolerance test kits for shoppers who want to pinpoint possible food sensitivities without a clinic visit. Good to compare if you want a mailed finger‑prick test and a detailed result report you can act on with diet changes or practitioner follow‑up.

What YorkTest is known for
YorkTest is best known for its at‑home food‑intolerance kits: you prick a finger, post the blood spot to their lab and get a lab‑analysed report listing food reactions and a suggested elimination plan. The service focuses on identifying possible IgG‑type sensitivities across broad food panels and packages the results with practical guidance rather than just raw lab numbers.
How to get the best price
YorkTest runs periodic promotions and bundle discounts (buy multiple kits or add a consultation) rather than everyday low prices. To save: wait for site sales, use first‑time visitor email discounts, and compare bundled test + practitioner packages — they often drop per‑kit cost more than buying add‑ons a la carte.
Shipping, returns & trust
Kits arrive by standard shipping and include a prepaid return mailer for your sample; the timeline that matters is lab receipt to report (about two weeks). Because these are medical tests, unused kits may be refundable under the merchant policy but samples already processed are not. Customer support and online result access are available if you need clarification after your report.
What they sell
Verdict
Worth it when
- You want a lab‑analysed at‑home test rather than guessing elimination diets.
- You value a clear report and an elimination plan you can start right away.
- You may want optional one‑to‑one nutritionist follow‑up available as an add‑on.
Skip it if
- You need an allergy diagnosis for IgE‑mediated allergies — this is not a clinical allergy test.
- You want guaranteed insurance‑covered diagnostic testing — at‑home kits are typically paid out of pocket.
