Gouda (ripe, over 4 weeks)

50–500 mg/kg

Unsuitable

This food is often poorly tolerated with histamine intolerance.

The histamine content in gouda directly depends on the ripening time. Young gouda (up to 4 weeks) is careful, ripe and extra ripe are unsuitable. Gouda sold in stores is usually aged longer. (SIGHS)
