Goose

Low histamine

Fresh goose is low in histamine — its rich fat content doesn't affect histamine levels directly.

Goose is a fresh poultry option that doesn't generate histamine on its own.

  • Freshness over fattiness — goose is naturally rich in fat, but fat content doesn't influence histamine; what matters is how fresh the bird is and how it's been stored

  • Watch the preparation — goose is sometimes served with aged or fermented accompaniments like wine-based sauces or aged cheeses, which can add histamine to the meal even if the goose itself is fine

Freshly prepared goose on its own tends to be a low-concern choice — just keep an eye on what it's served with.
