Is Boston Market Lemon Vinaigrette High in Histamine?

Boston Market Lemon Vinaigrette

High histamine

This vinaigrette is high from its lemon, lime, white wine, and pineapple juice.

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 DAO Blocker

A bright dressing made from vegetable and olive oil, sugar, white wine, garlic, lemon and lime juice, and a bit of pineapple juice.

Citrus and pineapple lead it — lemon, lime, and pineapple are all classic histamine liberators, and together they push the vinaigrette high.
White wine and vinegar add to it — white wine also acts as a DAO blocker, and the vinegar sits at moderate, so this one has several things keeping it up.

With citrus, wine, and pineapple all baked in, there is no simple tweak to lower this one.
