Is Noodles & Company Mozzarella Cheese High in Histamine?

Noodles & Company Mozzarella Cheese

Low histamine

This mozzarella is low in histamine, since fresh unaged cheese stays mild.

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.

Dairy

This is low-moisture mozzarella with a little potato starch, corn starch, cellulose, and salt.

Fresh unaged cheese — mozzarella is a young, unaged cheese, so it does not build up histamine the way aged cheeses do.
Simple ingredients — the starches and cellulose are just anti-caking additions and the rest of the mix stays mild.

This is a solid cheese choice to keep things on the lower-histamine side.
