Is Chipotle Honey Vinaigrette High in Histamine?

Chipotle Honey Vinaigrette

High histamine

This vinaigrette is high in histamine, mainly from its red wine vinegar.

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.

DAO Blocker Histamine Liberator

This is a sweet-tangy dressing made from rice bran oil, red wine vinegar, honey, chipotle chile, and spices.

Red wine vinegar leads — it is fermented and also acts as a DAO blocker, which sets the whole dressing high.
Chipotle and cumin add to it — the chipotle chile and cumin both run moderate, so the smoky-spice side keeps it elevated as well.

The red wine vinegar is central to this dressing, so there is no lower way to order it.
