Knorr Pasta Sides
This pasta side is high in histamine, mainly from the cheddar and yeast extract in the mix.
It is pasta with a savory powder built on whey, cheddar, yeast extract, onion, and garlic.
-
Cheddar and yeast extract — cheddar is aged, and yeast extract is a concentrated high-histamine flavoring, so either one carries the whole box up.
-
Onion and garlic powder — these land at moderate, adding to the load, while the pasta itself is milder.
The aged cheese and yeast extract are baked into the seasoning, so a plainer side is the better route.
