Hemochromatosis Diet Food #6: Meat and Meat Products

Meat and meat products are the biggest contributors to the total iron intake in our diet. Due to this, patients with hemochromatosis are discouraged from eating too much meat or meat products. Organ meats such as liver contain a high amount of iron and should be avoided or only consumed on rare occasions.

Patients should also choose meat products that are low in iron content. An important and easy way to remember is “the redder the meat, the higher the iron content”. Meats such as venison, beef, lamb, and buffalo should be avoided. Bluefin tuna is also a type of fish with higher heme iron compared to other types of fish.
