Intolerances
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)High
Synthetic antioxidants (BHA/BHT E320-321, gallates E310-312, TBHQ) appear in pseudoallergen-free diets as possible liberators, but on weak and largely observational evidence. Worth knowing rather than avoiding on principle. Sources: Zuberbier et al., EAACI/GA2LEN urticaria guideline; EFSA re-evaluations of BHA (2011) and BHT (2012).
