Status: Allowed with restrictions
Oolong Tea is classified as conditionally suitable for Histamine Intolerance based on current dietary assessments. Beverages may contain sugar, caffeine, acids or other substances that can be considered in dietary management of specific conditions. 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: fermented tea; moderate histamine content due to fermentation. The assessment is based on experience-based assessments and expert consensus.
