Is Boston Market Holiday Boneless Ham High in Histamine?

Boston Market Holiday Boneless Ham

High histamine

This ham is high because it is a cured meat with sodium nitrite.

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.

This is a cured ham sweetened with dextrose, brown sugar, and honey.

Cured ham — curing is one of the classic ways histamine builds up in meat, which puts this ham firmly in the high range.
Sodium nitrite — the curing salt used here is also flagged high, reinforcing that this is a cured product rather than a fresh one.

A fresh-roasted meat from the menu sits much lower than a cured ham.
