Bison Meat Histamine Information

Bison meat, being part of the red meat category, potentially contributes indirectly to histamine levels, considering its process of preparation and preservation. It is observed that meats are generally not high in histamine when fresh but can become high histamine or can act as histamine liberators when they are preserved, smoked, or fermented. For instance, smoked meats are listed as high histamine foods, therefore if the bison meat is smoked, it might increase histamine levels (1). Furthermore, high-protein foods such as bison meat can stimulate the release of gastric acids in the stomach, which can potentially release histamine to aid in the process of digestion (2). However, the specifics relating to the impact of bison meat on histamine levels are currently understudied, hence an accurate and comprehensive reference relating directly to bison meat’s impact on histamine level isn't readily available. On a final note, it is always recommended for individuals with histamine intolerance to consume fresh foods, including meats. Any indication of spoilage, which could potentially raise histamine levels, should be a sign to discard the product. Hence, fresh bison meat, when cooked properly and consumed immediately, might be a lesser risk considering histamine levels. References: 1. Maintz L, Novak N. Histamine and histamine intolerance.
