Duck

What is Duck?

Duck is a type of poultry known for its rich, flavorful meat and is commonly used in various cuisines around the world. It is often enjoyed in dishes such as Peking duck, duck confit, and duck à l'orange. Duck meat is darker and fattier compared to chicken or turkey, and is prized for its unique taste and texture.

Why Do I Have an Intolerance to Duck?

Intolerance to duck may arise due to several reasons. It could be a reaction to proteins specific to duck meat or a sensitivity to the high-fat content, which can be difficult for some people to digest. 

Additionally, if duck is not cooked thoroughly or handled properly, it might contain allergens or trigger adverse reactions in sensitive individuals. Sometimes, intolerance might be due to a reaction to preservatives or additives used in processed duck products.

What Can I Do About It?

If you suspect an intolerance to duck, avoid consuming it and opt for other protein sources such as chicken, turkey, or plant-based alternatives. Experiment with different cooking methods and ensure meat is thoroughly cooked to reduce the risk of adverse reactions.
