Applebee's Low Fat Vanilla Yogurt
This yogurt is high in histamine because it is a cultured dairy product.
Most of this is cooked to order, which is the best case for histamine. Even so, a restaurant kitchen preps ahead and holds things warm through a service, so freshness varies more than it would at home. The rating above comes from the chain's published ingredients. If a dish is borderline for you, asking how it is prepared tells you more than the menu does.
This is a vanilla yogurt made from cultured low fat milk with sugar, pectin, and natural flavor.
-
Cultured yogurt — yogurt is made by fermenting milk, and fermentation is one of the classic ways histamine builds up, which is what makes this high.
-
The rest is milder — the sugar, pectin, and flavoring are gentle, so it is the cultured milk itself, not the additions, that sets the level.
There is no way to tweak fermentation out of yogurt, so plain fresh milk or a fresh dairy option would be gentler.
