Panera Bread Hazelnut Mocha Iced Coffee

High histamine

This iced coffee is high because the hazelnut syrup and hazelnut fudge bark are both high.

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.

This drink is brewed coffee with sweet cream cold foam, chocolatey hazelnut flavored syrup, and hazelnut fudge flavored bark, and those two flavorings push it to high.

  • Chocolatey hazelnut syrup — this flavored syrup sits at high, so it drives the rating on its own.

  • Hazelnut fudge bark — the fudge bark topping is also high, while the brewed coffee and fresh sweet cream base are milder.

Because both add-ins are high, a lighter drink on the same menu is your best bet.
