Firehouse Subs Oatmeal Raisin Cookie

High histamine

This oatmeal raisin cookie is high in histamine, mostly from the raisins.

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.

It is a soft baked cookie built on rolled oats, wheat flour, sugar, margarine, butter, eggs, molasses, and cinnamon.

  • Raisins — dried fruit is concentrated and runs high in histamine, and that alone sets the level for the whole cookie.

  • The supporting cast — the enriched wheat flour, margarine, molasses, and cinnamon each land moderate, so even setting the raisins aside the base is not a low one.

There is no easy way to pull the raisins out of a finished cookie, so a plain non-fruit sweet is the gentler route.
