Why tyramine food checker matters

Tyramine is an amino acid that forms when proteins break down. It's found in aged, fermented, or spoiled foods. For people taking MAO inhibitors or those with tyramine sensitivity, it can cause headaches, elevated blood pressure, and other reactions.

  • Choose fresh over aged, fermented, or preserved foods
  • Eat protein foods fresh and store properly
  • Be especially careful if taking MAO inhibitor medications
  • Common high-tyramine foods include aged cheese, cured meats, and soy sauce
  • Ripeness affects tyramine - choose less ripe fruits

What to know about rose wine

Rose wine sits between red and white, and so does its trigger profile. It ferments with some contact on red grape skins, which builds up histamine, and it is preserved with sulfites, so it rates high on both. That amine-plus-sulfite combination is a classic reason a glass of rose brings on a flushed face, a stuffy nose or a headache faster than the alcohol alone would explain. It also carries some tyramine, another wine amine.

Watch for

  • High in histamine (D): fermentation and skin contact raise histamine, a leading cause of wine flush, blocked nose and headaches
  • High in sulfites (D): added as a preservative and a separate trigger for sulfite-sensitive people, sometimes felt as wheeze or headache
  • A mild histamine liberator with some tyramine (C): extra amine load that stacks on the histamine and matters if you take an MAOI
