Salicylate Food and Product Shopping Lists Last Updated: January 31 2021
Formatted for shopping convenience from The Low-Sal Life
Go to the website at https://low-sal-life.com/food-product-lists#products for more data on each item, the year and sources for that data, and their complete and awesome list of citations, studies and research:
“There have been five major studies testing salicylates in food over the last forty years. I will categorize food by the highest study's levels which includes Free + Bound Salicylic Acid levels, but also include all the historical results. Please take caution while trying new foods. Also note, that the food industry has changed and scientific methods improved in 40 years which may be a few reasons why salicylate levels have changed.
Malakar et al. reports all levels with free plus bound salicylic acid, not just free like Swain et al. 1985. This may explain why levels are higher than before. Kęszycka also reports both free and bound, but provides the levels separately. This is why white rice is no longer in the negligible list - it has a low level when including bound salicylic acid. While it's not known how the body metabolizes bound salicylates, it's good to know what the full potential is. The best way to use this list is to search for the food item with your browser search - look for ALL the mentions. For example, figs are listed in three categories depending on how they are preserved.
Also, some foods were not included in the five research articles, so I've included items like the St. Joseph's Health Care Sal-free Diet Guide, and other valuable or popular lists. They do not include measurable amounts, just estimated levels.”
“Any food [whose ingredient] list ... includes "spices" is pretty much out.”
This list is far more comprehensive than older lists such as the RPAH list. Some values have changed dramatically ....such as Vanilla (sob) & some beers (yay!) I have included all foods listed (including meat & seafood) to make layering other diets more convenient. You can cross out/highlight foods that feature in other diets (Keto, Sulfur, Oxalates, Amines, Fodmap etc.) to make shopping simpler. ~Megan~
