Plain yogurt: FODMAP, histamine, lactose and gluten

Here is what the scientific sources say about Plain yogurt for people managing sensitivities to FODMAP, histamine, gluten and lactose.

FODMAP

The FODMAP content of Plain yogurt is classified as moderate.

Sources: Alm L. Effect of fermentation on lactose, glucose and galactose content in milk and suitability of fermented milk products for lactose-intolerant individuals. Journal of Dairy Science, 1982 (ScienceDirect, articolo S0022030282821998) — lattosio ridotto a circa 2,3 g/100g dopo fermentazione/conservazione (11 giorni) rispetto a 4,8 g/100g nel latte non fermentato, ma resta presente in quantità non trascurabile in una porzione standard; cf. Deng Y, et al. Nutrients. 2015;7(9):8020-8035.

Histamine

The histamine/biogenic amine content of Plain yogurt is considered low (0-3 intensity scale).

Sources: EFSA Panel on Biological Hazards (BIOHAZ). Scientific Opinion on risk based control of biogenic amine formation in fermented foods. EFSA Journal. 2011;9(10):2393. doi:10.2903/j.efsa.2011.2393 — i prodotti lattiero-caseari fermentati rientrano tra gli alimenti a rischio di formazione di ammine biogene per attività di batteri lattici; Moniente M, et al. Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf. 2021;20(2):1481-1523 — discute i ceppi batterici produttori di istamina nei prodotti lattiero-caseari fermentati.

Lactose and gluten

Lactose is naturally present in Plain yogurt. Gluten is not naturally present in Plain yogurt.

Notes

categoria: Proteine | Livello di istamina variabile secondo il ceppo batterico di fermentazione (es. Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus); individui sensibili possono tollerare piccole quantità. Il lattosio è ridotto dalla fermentazione ma non azzerato.

It is not designed to handle anaphylactic reactions: in an emergency, contact emergency services immediately. 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.
