Scrambled Eggs Histamine Information

Scrambled eggs can be prepared with a variety of ingredient combinations; typically consisting of eggs, milk or cream, and butter or oil for cooking. Pure eggs (specifically the egg whites) tend to harbor low histamine levels when fresh. However, histamine levels can rise when eggs, like any other protein-based foods, are stored for extended periods or not appropriately refrigerated, possibly leading to histamine food poisoning. Moreover, old or spoiled eggs might contain higher histamine levels. Milk used in scrambled eggs can contain low to moderate histamine levels. This depends largely on the type of milk used. Generally, fresh milk contains relatively low histamine, while fermented milk products (like buttermilk) can be high in histamine. Butter and most oils used for cooking scrambled eggs normally have low histamine content, as they lack the proteins necessary for bacteria to produce histamine. But, as histamine liberators, cooking oils could potentially release histamine from other foods they interact with during the cooking process. The consumption of scrambled eggs, therefore, can affect histamine levels based on the freshness of the eggs, the type of milk, and the oils used. While scrambled eggs can contribute to histamine levels if any of the components are histamine rich or liberators, they are not typically considered a significant source of histamine or likely to provoke a histamine response unless they are part of a larger, histamine-rich dietary context or combined with histamine liberating foods. Please be aware that individual tolerance to histamine can vary remarkably, and reactions can sometimes be inconsistent. Therefore, scrambled eggs might affect some people more strongly than others.

Please note that comprehensive studies directly proving the link between scrambled eggs consumption and its impact on the histamine level in the human body are sparse, making it a building block for future research.
