Histamine is a contaminant sometimes found in seafood when improperly handled. High levels of histamine in seafood can cause scombroid poisoning. Quality tuna has histamine levels below 50 ppm. The amount of histamine can be determined using ELISA or LC-MS. However these traditional methods require very expensive instrumentation and time consuming sample preparation procedures.
