Fresh cheeses (cottage, cottage cheese, quark)
Cottage cheese
Suitable
Most people with histamine intolerance tolerate this food well.
Cottage cheese is an unripened fresh cheese that is generally well-tolerated when fresh. Due to its high protein and moisture content, it is prone to rapid microbial degradation, which leads to histamine formation. It should be consumed immediately after opening.
High-protein decay risk: For rapidly perishable high-protein foods, storage and repeated reheating can increase histamine load, and reheating does not destroy the histamine formed.
