Fruity Pebbles

High histamine

Fruity Pebbles is a puffed rice cereal that tends to run high, largely from its added color and vitamins.

Histamine Liberator

This is a sweetened rice cereal with sugar, marshmallows, corn syrup, oil, and a set of added colors and fortification vitamins.

  • Added color and fortification — the yellow 6 and the added vitamin B1 are what push this into high territory, and the mix is flagged as a histamine liberator.

  • The rest of the base — plain rice, sugar, and corn syrup are the bulk of it, but the color and vitamin blend set the overall level, so the sweet base doesn't bring it down.

A plain puffed rice cereal without added colors is a lower-histamine way to get a similar bowl.
