Camembert with Histamine Intolerance

Status: Not recommended

Camembert is classified as not recommended for Histamine Intolerance based on current dietary assessments. Cold cuts, cheese and spreads are often high in fat and salt while also providing protein and – in cheese – calcium. With histamine intolerance, attention is paid to the histamine content and histamine-releasing properties of foods, as the body cannot break down histamine sufficiently. The reasoning given is: soft cheese with washed rind, strongly aged, high in histamine. The assessment is based on conservative experience-based assessments.
