Dunkin' Egg Patty
The egg patty is moderate in histamine, mostly from the soybean oil it's cooked with.
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.
The egg patty is made from egg white and yolk with soybean oil, water, corn starch, and a little salt and gum.
-
Soybean oil — the oil sits at moderate, and it's the main thing nudging this above low.
-
The eggs themselves are mild — plain egg is one of the calmer proteins here, so the patty stays middle-of-the-road rather than high.
On a breakfast menu, this is one of the gentler protein choices.
