Oysters

Shellfish can accumulate histamine quickly during storage; uncertain freshness is a reason for caution.

Unsuitable

This food is often poorly tolerated with histamine intolerance.

Shellfish can contain histamine and other biogenic amines, especially when no longer perfectly fresh.

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.

Liberator: May trigger histamine release from mast cells independently of its own histamine content. learn more
