Calcium propionate

Low histamine

Calcium propionate is low in histamine. It is a mould inhibitor used in bread.

Added to bread and baked goods to slow mould growth.

No histamine relevance, and by suppressing mould it works against the spoilage that would raise amine levels. It is sometimes reported as a trigger for other symptoms, though evidence is limited.
