Frequently asked questions

Which intolerances does cod affect?

Cod is notable for histamine. Clear on FODMAPs, lactose, gluten, fructose, oligosaccharides, sorbitol, sucrose, tyramine, salicylate, nickel and oxalates.

Does cod contain histamine?

Cod contains only low levels of histamine. Cod is a lean white fish, low in the free histidine that bacteria turn into histamine - unlike tuna, mackerel and sardine, where the scombroid problem lives. It is sold as loins and fillets, a large share of it frozen at sea — and frozen at sea is the shortest clock there is. Freshness is the whole of it: the count climbs with every hour out of the cold, and no label records it. Amounts vary by brand and recipe, so always check the label of the exact product.
