Panera Bread French Baguette

High histamine

This baguette sandwich is high in histamine from the cured meats, provolone, and garlic aioli.

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.

Gluten Dairy DAO Blocker Histamine Liberator

This is a French baguette stacked with uncured ham, soppressata, provolone, garlic aioli, pepperoncini, romaine, Greek dressing, and red onion.

  • The cured meats and cheese lead — the uncured ham, soppressata, and aged provolone all run high because curing and aging build up histamine, and the garlic aioli adds white wine, a DAO blocker.

  • The bread and extras add up — the baguette blends in fermented and rye flours plus wheat flakes at moderate, and the vinegar, pepperoncini, and Greek dressing are moderate too.

With the meats, cheese, and aioli all high, a simpler fresh-ingredient sandwich is the better call.
