Turkey with Histamine Intolerance

Status: Allowed

Turkey is classified as well tolerated for Histamine Intolerance based on current dietary assessments. Meat and fish are important protein sources but differ considerably in fat content and fatty acid profiles. 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: poultry protein, fresh prepared low in histamine. The assessment is based on conservative experience-based assessments.
