Is Buffalo Wild Wings Honey Mustard High in Histamine?

Buffalo Wild Wings Honey Mustard

High histamine

Honey mustard is high in histamine, driven by white wine, vinegar, and paprika in the blend.

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.

DAO Blocker

This sauce mixes soybean oil, honey, mustard, several vinegars, egg yolk, and white wine, and a few of those push it up.

White wine — wine can block DAO, the enzyme that helps clear histamine, which is why even a splash in a sauce raises the concern here.
Vinegars and paprika — the apple cider vinegar and paprika sit on the moderate side, so alongside the wine the dip lands high overall.

For dipping, a plain side without a wine-based sauce is the lower-histamine route.
