What to know about processed meat
Processed meat is an umbrella for hot dogs, deli slices, sausages, bologna and other cured or preserved meats, and it stacks three separate triggers at once. Curing and storage let histamine and tyramine build up in the meat, while added sodium nitrite, the preservative that keeps it pink, makes it high in nitrites. That combination is why processed meat is a frequent trigger for histamine intolerance, tyramine-sensitive migraine and nitrite-linked headaches, on top of being one of the more pro-inflammatory foods in a typical diet. Specific cured meats like ham, bacon and salami each have their own page.
Watch for
- High in histamine from curing and storage, a common trigger for flushing, hives or headache
- High in tyramine, relevant for migraine and for anyone on an MAOI
- High in added nitrites (sodium nitrite), the preservative linked to headaches in sensitive people
- Often contains gluten as a filler or binder, so check labels if you are gluten sensitive
