• Use extra caution when selecting, storing, and preparing your food.
• Eat fresh produce within two days of purchase if possible.
• Read all food and drink labels carefully.
• Avoid spoiled, aged, fermented, or pickled foods.
• Don’t thaw foods at room temperature. Thaw in the refrigerator instead.
• Eat canned or frozen foods, including produce, poultry and fish, right after opening.
• Buy fresh poultry and fish and eat them the same day, or freeze them immediately.
• Keep in mind that cooking will not lower tyramine content.
• Use caution when you eat out because you don’t know how foods have been stored.
