“Note: There are limited data on nickel content of foods. The above
list is based on known values, and reports from scientific
literature.”
The following foods are low in nickel content but can aggravate nickel
allergy:
Beer
Wine (especially red wine)
Fish such as herring, mackerel and tuna
Raw tomatoes, onions and carrots
Apples and citrus fruits and their juices
“Don't drink or use in food preparation the first quart of water taken
from the tap because your pipes may release nickel.”
“Replace nickel-plated utensils. You may use stainless steel pots and
pans but avoid using them to cook acidic foods, which may cause pots
and pans to release nickel.”
