Venison
Other names deer meat
Venison: low in FODMAPs, histamine, oligosaccharides, tyramine and nickel. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- FODMAPsLow
Venison is lean game meat and carries no fermentable carbohydrate, so this axis does not reach the meat. It reaches what game is cooked with: the onion in the marinade, the redcurrant or juniper sauce, the flour that thickens it.

- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Low
Venison is low fresh, but game carries a particular risk on this axis: it is traditionally hung to tenderise, and hanging is exactly the controlled ageing that produces amines. How long it hung is the question, and no label answers it.
- OligosaccharidesFODMAPsLow
Venison carries no oligosaccharide, as no meat does. Game is usually marinated, though, and a marinade means onion, garlic, wine and juniper - the marinade is the part of this dish worth reading.
- TyramineLow
Venison is low fresh, and game carries a specific caveat here: hanging to tenderise is controlled ageing, and controlled ageing is how tyramine is made in meat. How long it hung is a question the label does not answer.
- NickelLow
Venison is wild meat, and a deer eats leaves and shoots rather than concentrated feed. Muscle does not store nickel in any case - the animal excretes it. The nickel here follows a national survey covering four decades - the kind of series that shows whether a level is drifting, which a single study never can.
