Additional Informations
Ground pork, as a type of meat, does not inherently contain a high level of histamines. However, the levels can significantly increase depending on aging, fermentation, cooking, and storage processes. Smoked meats like ham and salami, which might include pork, are also high in histamines. Ground pork might not be a major problem for histamine-intolerant individuals if it is fresh and properly stored.
Ground pork, like other meats, does not seem to be a histamine liberator, meaning it does not induce the release of histamines. However, it's essential to consider the other ingredients being used while cooking. For example, if you are using tomatoes or vinegar-based sauces in your ground pork recipe, those are known histamine liberators and might elevate the histamine levels in the dish.
As far as research shows, ground pork doesn't contain any ingredients that could lower histamine levels in the body. However, ingredients beneficial for histamine intolerance such as fresh herbs and certain vegetables could be used in ground pork recipes, potentially offering some balance.
Under specific circumstances, ground pork can be a part of a diet for someone dealing with histamine intolerance. However, it becomes a histamine issue when not stored effectively or when combined with other high-histamine or histamine-liberating foods.

I want to add a disclaimer that the impact of ground pork on histamine levels might vary with different individuals. It's always best to consult a medical professional or nutritionist to understand personal food needs and how to best manage histamine intolerance.
