Is Culver's Raspberry Cheesecake Flavor Of The Day High in Histamine?

Culver's Raspberry Cheesecake Flavor of the Day

High histamine

This raspberry cheesecake custard is high, driven by sour cream and lemon juice 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.

It is a frozen custard swirled with raspberries, cream cheese, sour cream, graham crumb, and a touch of lemon.

Sour cream and lemon juice concentrate — sour cream is cultured, which pushes it high, and lemon is a classic histamine liberator, so both drive the level up.
The mix-ins — raspberries, cream cheese, graham crumb, and soy add moderate-to-high notes, so several parts are working against you here.

The plain custard base without these cheesecake swirls is a much lower-histamine treat.
