The dietary restrictions on Emsam are probably much less necessary. But until that's been definitively shown, I guess it's best to be careful.
Pickles and most bouillion are not safe on other maois. There are some types of soup broth that you can buy--not pellets, but in containers-- that are okay.
Sauerkraut isn't good, and actually I'm not sure about lox, but I would think you couldn't--again on other maois.
The biggest problems are aged cheeses, as has been said, and some red wines--
or other aged things-- that's where it gets complicated, because many foods, if spoiled, can become a problem even though they're fine when not spoiled. It's the aging process. So sometimes it's best to stay away from salad bars, etc, where food is left out for a long time.
But again, with Emsam, there's evidence that even on higher doses, the diet isn't necessary.
You can check that on google.
