Status: Allowed with restrictions
Marzipan is classified as conditionally suitable for Histamine Intolerance based on current dietary assessments. Sweets generally contain high amounts of sugar and saturated fats and are therefore included only sparingly in most dietary concepts. 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: contains almonds; nuts may act as histamine liberators; individually tolerable. The assessment is based on experience-based assessments and expert consensus.
