Vegeta is considered a highly unsuitable food for people with histamine intolerance. The main problem is the high content of monosodium glutamate (E621), which acts as an inhibitor of the enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO), thereby directly blocking the body's ability to break down histamine from the food it eats. In addition to glutamate, the mixture often also contains yeast extract, which is naturally rich in free histamine and other biogenic amines, and various artificial flavors or dyes, which can cause a non-specific reaction of mast cells.
