Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the average histamine concentrations found in food poisoning incidents, focusing specifically on outbreaks related to histamine poisoning or scombroid syndrome from various foods.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, incorporating 55 reports from 1959 to 2013, resulting in 103 documented incidents with a mean histamine concentration of 1107.21 mg/kg.
- The research found a significant level of histamine in the food samples, particularly from tuna and Istiophoridae species, while no direct associations were established between poisoning and factors like gender or alcohol consumption; limitations in the existing studies were also noted.
