Histamine in fish and fishery products

Histamine is a biogenic amine formed by the decarboxylation of histidine by microbial activity, which causes allergy-like symptoms upon consumption.

Preserved fishery products have been identified as a potential source of histamine-related food poisoning, and thus the maximum content of histamine in fish and fishery products (e.g., fish sauce) has been defined in Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005.
