Intolerances
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)High
Tomato powder is dehydrated tomato and therefore the most concentrated tomato format there is - a teaspoon carries the histamine of several fresh tomatoes. It is used in soup mixes, crisp seasonings and instant sauces, where nobody thinks of it as tomato at all.

- FODMAPsModerate
Tomato powder is dehydrated tomato, so it multiplies the fruit's FODMAP many times over - but it is used by the teaspoon in seasoning mixes. The risk is that those mixes usually carry onion and garlic powder too, and those are the real problem.

- FructoseFODMAPsLow
Tomato powder concentrates the fruit many times over, and tomato carries a little free fructose. It is used by the spoonful, which keeps the dose small.

- TyramineLow
Tomato powder is dehydrated tomato, concentrated but from a low base. Tyramine needs three things - protein, bacteria and time - and a cooked or dried product has had the second removed and the third stopped.

- OxalatesLow
Tomato powder concentrates tomato, and the tomato's oxalate concentrates with it. Tomato powder is the most concentrated tomato format there is, and it hides in soup mixes and seasoning blends where nobody weighs it.
