Is Cold Stone Creamery Frosting High in Histamine?

Cold Stone Creamery Frosting

High histamine

This frosting is high in histamine, driven by the soy protein concentrate.

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.

Histamine Liberator

This is a whipped frosting of corn syrup, hydrogenated oil, caseinate, sugar, and soy ingredients.

Soy protein concentrate — this is the driver and runs high, which sets the level for the frosting as a whole.
The rest is milder — the corn syrup, sugar, oils, and gums around it aren't the concern; the soy protein concentrate is what carries the rating.

If you want a lower-histamine finish, a caramel drizzle is a gentler choice than the frosting.
