Rabbit Histamine Information

Rabbit as a food source is not typically associated with high levels of histamine. As a lean game meat, it presents a high protein, low fat option, with no documentation of considerable histamine content. In the context of histamine liberators, it does not appear to instigate additional histamine release in the body. However, the potential for histamine accumulation may come through certain preparation styles or accompanying ingredients. For instance, if the rabbit meat is smoked - given that smoked meats such as ham and salami are associated with histamine - the smoked rabbit could potentially incite an increase in histamine levels (1). Also, if a tomato-based sauce is used in the preparation, for example, rabbit stew with tomatoes, the tomato products could potentially contribute to the overall histamine in the meal (2). Regarding a potential decrease in histamine levels, there is no available research indicating that consuming rabbit could lower histamine levels. In summarizing, based on current research, rabbit as a lone entity does not significantly impact histamine levels. However, caution should be exercised when considering its preparation and what additional ingredients may be incorporated. Some preparations and associated ingredients can potentially increase the histamine in the meal, and hence, impact the person's histamine levels. As developments continue in the fields of nutrition and immunology, data concerning rabbit as a potential histamine influencer may emerge in the coming years. At the current stage, research on rabbit specifically in relation to histamine levels is somewhat lacking, hence, "This product has not been researched well enough to publish any concrete information, our team is working hard on this, and updated data will be available soon."
