Is Noodles & Company Roasted Garlic Cream Sauce High in Histamine?

Noodles & Company Roasted Garlic Cream Sauce

High histamine

This garlic cream sauce is high in histamine, mainly from the white wine cooked into it.

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 DAO Blocker

This is a rich sauce built on heavy cream, milk, butter, onion, roasted garlic, and white wine.

White wine leads it — wine is high and also acts as a DAO blocker, meaning it can slow the enzyme that helps break histamine down, so it pushes the whole sauce up.
Soybean oil adds to it — the soybean oil sits at moderate, while the fresh cream, milk, and butter on their own are gentle.

A fresh, wine-free cream sauce would be a much easier pick here.
