Is Noodles & Company Chili Garlic Sauce High in Histamine?

Noodles & Company Chili Garlic Sauce

High histamine

This chili garlic sauce is high in histamine from soy sauce, parmesan, and oyster sauce.

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.

A savory sauce of soy sauce, butter, parmesan, garlic, oyster sauce, and chili, with several high drivers.

Soy sauce and oyster sauce — soy sauce is fermented and high, and oyster sauce is high as well, both leading the level here.
Aged parmesan and chili — parmesan is aged and high, while the chili garlic sauce itself adds moderate load on top.

The butter and garlic are gentle, but the soy, oyster sauce, and parmesan set the level, so a plainer topping is calmer.
