Spiny lobster

Like lobster and shrimp, it is a crustacean; freshness and storage are crucial.

Unsuitable

This food is often poorly tolerated with histamine intolerance.

Spiny lobster is a marine crustacean in which histamine can rise quickly when freshness declines. SIGHI also identifies it as a histamine liberator.

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
