Is Boston Market Frank's RedHot Original Buffalo High in Histamine?

Boston Market Frank's RedHot Original Buffalo

High histamine

This buffalo sauce is high in histamine, mainly from its aged cayenne red peppers.

Food here is usually assembled to order from components that were prepped earlier in the day, so it tends to be fresher than a drive-through and less fresh than cooking at home. Histamine builds up as protein foods sit, so how long the chicken or beef has been in the warmer matters as much as what is in the bowl. Treat the rating above as a starting point.

Histamine Liberator

This is a vinegar-based hot sauce built on aged cayenne peppers with paprika and butter-type flavor.

Aged cayenne red peppers — the peppers are aged before blending, and that aging is what pushes the sauce high.
Paprika and butter-garlic flavor — the paprika and the natural butter-type flavor with garlic powder each sit at a moderate level, adding to the total.

There is no clean tweak to make a hot sauce lower, so skipping it is the simplest path.
