Is Culver's Oreo® Cookie Cheesecake Flavor Of The Day High in Histamine?

Culver's Oreo® Cookie Cheesecake Flavor of the Day

High histamine

This flavor is high in histamine, driven by sour cream, lemon juice concentrate, cocoa, and chocolate.

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.

Dairy Gluten Histamine Liberator

This custard blends dairy, cream cheese, sour cream, and crushed chocolate cookies with graham crumb.

Sour cream and lemon juice concentrate — the sour cream is high because it is a cultured dairy, and lemon juice concentrate is a citrus liberator, both high on their own.
Cocoa and chocolate — the cocoa processed with alkali and chocolate in the cookie pieces are high too, with soy adding more, so several parts sit high at once.

The base custard is milder, but the mix-ins and toppings set this one firmly high.
