Status: Not recommended
Ketchup is classified as not recommended for Histamine Intolerance based on current dietary assessments. Dips and sauces vary greatly in composition – from high in salt to high in fat – and can affect the overall nutritional quality of a meal. 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: tomato and vinegar high in histamine, sugar intensifies GI burden. The assessment is based on conservative experience-based assessments.
