Is Burger King Buttery Spread High in Histamine?

Burger King Buttery Spread

Moderate histamine

This buttery spread is moderate in histamine, driven by the soybean oil blend it's made from.

Fast food is cooked in batches and held warm rather than made when you order it, so it is rarely as fresh as something cooked at home. That matters here because histamine builds up as protein foods sit, which means the same item can affect you differently depending on how long it waited.

This is an oil-based spread, and its makeup lands it at moderate.

The buttery spread — it's a blend of soybean oil and hydrogenated soybean oil with salt, and the spread as a whole is flagged moderate.
Soybean oil — this specific oil is also called out as a moderate driver here, so it's the main thing setting the level.

If you want a lower fat to add, plain butter or a plain oil tends to sit lower.
