Is Firehouse Subs Catering Salad Platter High in Histamine?

Firehouse Subs Catering Salad Platter

High histamine

This salad platter is high in histamine because of the tomatoes.

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.

Histamine Liberator

It is a simple mix of lettuce, cucumber, red onion, green peppers, and tomatoes.

Tomatoes — these are a classic histamine liberator, which is enough to set the whole platter's level.
Green peppers — these land moderate, adding to the picture behind the tomatoes.

The lettuce, cucumber, and onion are the gentle base, so dropping the tomatoes is the key change.
