Beef broth
Beef broth contains moderate levels of FODMAPs, Histamine, Oligosaccharides and Tyramine. It has low levels of Gluten and Salicylate. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- FODMAPsModerate
stocks and bouillon are usually high in FODMAP because they contain onion and garlic. Choose a broth made without onion or garlic, or use garlic-infused oil, to stay low FODMAP.
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Moderate
Long simmering pulls amines out of the bones and meat and then concentrates them as the liquid reduces — and stock cubes add yeast extract and glutamates on top. A quick, fresh broth is a very different thing from one simmered for hours or from a cube.
- OligosaccharidesModerate
- TyramineModerate
Tyramine builds with time and bacterial action, so for these the lever is freshness and processing rather than the food itself: minced, smoked, pickled, sun-dried, pre-cut or long-simmered all mean more surface, more storage, or more bacterial contact. Bought fresh and eaten the same day, most of these are unremarkable. Sources: EFSA Journal 2011 (tyramine in fermented foods); McCabe-Sellers et al., J Food Compos Anal 2006.
- GlutenPossible
stocks and bouillon cubes can contain wheat flour or barley malt as thickener or flavour, so they may not be gluten-free. Choose a stock labelled gluten-free.
