    Explanation & Rationale

Smoked and cured meats, such as sausage, are high in tyramine and should be avoided. F. Red wine is another common source of tyramine, and consumption should be avoided while taking MAOIs. A. Fruit juices are generally low in tyramine and do not need to be excluded. D. Cereal is not typically high in tyramine, so it is safe to consume. E. Grilled chicken, as a fresh protein source, is low in tyramine and safe for clients on MAOIs.
