Intolerances
- GlutenContains
this contains gluten from barley and malt. Even alcohol-free or low-alcohol beer still contains gluten unless it is specifically labelled gluten-free.
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Moderate
Still a doubly-fermented product, so histamine is there — but these are not wood-aged the way balsamic or sherry vinegar are, so they sit lower. If you use vinegar at all, the young, clear ones are the safer end.
