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: citrus fruit, frequently histamine-releasing and pseudoallergen. The assessment is based on conservative experience-based assessments.
