Calcium propionate
Other names calcium propanoate, E282
Calcium propionate: moderate in histamine. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Moderate
Calcium propionate (E282) is the form used in bread, and by volume it is one of the most widely used preservatives in the food supply - almost every industrial loaf carries it. Its presence on this list rests on association rather than on a mechanism. Propionate carries no histamine. The Swiss compatibility list marks the bread preservatives down as a family, and what it publishes is a perceived compatibility, not a content.
