Izquierdo-Pulido et al. (1995) found that out of 35 samples of Spanish lagers contaminated with ''Pediococcus'', 21 of them had final tyramine levels between 5-10 mg/l, 6 of them had no detected tyramine, and 8 of them had high levels around 25 mg/l, with higher levels being correlated to higher cell counts of ''Pediococcus''. higher levels of tyramine were associated with higher cell counts of the tyramine-producing strains during smaller bench test fermentations as well. There was no correlation between the presence of wild yeast and tyramine production. Filtration and pasteurization after fermentation had no effect on the levels of tyramine in the final beers <ref>[https://watermark.silverchair.com/0362-028x-59_2_175.pdf Biogenic Amine Changes Related to Lactic Acid Bacteria During Brewing.

De Roosa et al (2024) found the ''P. damnosus'' in two samples of lambic had the genetic capability to produce histamine. The total biogenic amine content of the lambic was at levels below that which has been deemed safe by European regulatory bodies <ref name="Roosa_2024"/>.
