Salicylic acid occurs in plants as free salicylic acid and its carboxylated esters and phenolic glycosides. Several studies suggest that humans metabolize salicylic acid in measurable quantities from these plants.<ref name=Malakar>{{cite journal| vauthors = Malakar S, Gibson PR, Barrett JS, Muir JG |title=Naturally occurring dietary salicylates: A closer look at common Australian foods|journal=Journal of Food Composition and Analysis|date=1 April 2017|volume=57|pages=31–39|doi=10.1016/j.jfca.2016.12.008}}</ref> High-salicylate beverages and foods include [[beer]], [[coffee]], [[tea]], numerous fruits and vegetables, [[sweet potato]], [[nut (food)|nuts]], and [[olive oil]].<ref name="drugs">{{cite web |title=Low salicylate diet |url=https://www.drugs.com/article/low-salicylate-diet.html |publisher=Drugs.com |access-date=16 December 2019 |date=19 February 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191216162635/https://www.drugs.com/article/low-salicylate-diet.html |archive-date=16 December 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref> Meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, sugar, breads and cereals have low salicylate content.<ref name=drugs/><ref name="Swain">{{cite journal | vauthors = Swain AR, Dutton SP, Truswell AS | title = Salicylates in foods | journal = Journal of the American Dietetic Association | volume = 85 | issue = 8 | pages = 950–960 | date = August 1985 | pmid = 4019987 | doi = 10.1016/S0002-8223(21)03743-3 | s2cid = 42796737 | url = https://www.slhd.nsw.gov.au/rpa/allergy/research/salicylatesinfoods.pdf | access-date = 2019-12-16 | url-status = live | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190405002521/https://www.slhd.nsw.gov.au/rpa/allergy/research/salicylatesinfoods.pdf | archive-date = 2019-04-05 }}</ref>

Some people with sensitivity to dietary salicylates may have symptoms of [[allergic reaction]], such as [[bronchial asthma]], [[rhinitis]], [[gastrointestinal disorder]]s, or [[diarrhea]], so may need to adopt a low-salicylate diet.<ref name=drugs/>
