Popcorn (plain, no additives): FODMAP, histamine, lactose and gluten

Here is what the scientific sources say about Popcorn (plain, no additives) for people managing sensitivities to FODMAP, histamine, gluten and lactose.

FODMAP

The FODMAP content of Popcorn (plain, no additives) is classified as low.

Histamine

The histamine/biogenic amine content of Popcorn (plain, no additives) is considered low (0-3 intensity scale).

Biogenic Amines in Plant-Origin Foods: Are They Frequently Underestimated in Low-Histamine Diets? Foods. 2018;7(12):205. doi:10.3390/foods7120205 — i cereali non fermentati contengono solo putrescina di origine fisiologica, non istamina.

LTP (lipid transfer protein)

The LTP risk associated with Popcorn (plain, no additives) is classified as high.

Sources: Pastorello EA et al. 2000. The maize major allergen... is a lipid transfer protein. J Allergy Clin Immunol 106(4):744-751; Asero R et al. 2000. Lipid transfer protein: a pan-allergen in plant-derived foods that is highly resistant to pepsin digestion. Int Arch Allergy Immunol 122(1):20-32. — Zea m 14 (LTP del mais) è allergene maggiore del chicco di mais integrale ed è nota per l'estrema resistenza al calore; non risultano studi specifici sul popcorn, ma la resistenza generale della classe nsLTP al calore secco/pressione ne supporta la persistenza immunologica.

Lactose and gluten

Lactose is not naturally present in Popcorn (plain, no additives). Gluten is not naturally present in Popcorn (plain, no additives).

Notes

categoria: Cereali e amidi | Il mais è un cereale naturalmente privo di glutine; nessuna fermentazione nel processo di produzione, coerente con contenuto di istamina trascurabile.

You can declare, in free text, the substances you're allergic or intolerant to: an AI interprets them and the app tries to exclude them from scanner results, recipes, and products. This is a best-effort aid to reduce risk, not a safety guarantee: the underlying ingredient and product data isn't clinically validated allergen by allergen, and your declaration may be interpreted inaccurately. Always check the label yourself before consuming a product, especially for severe allergies.
