Panera Bread Muffin - Blueberry

Moderate histamine

This blueberry muffin is moderate in histamine as a baked muffin category.

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 is a standard blueberry muffin baked from a flour-and-dairy muffin dough with a light pan spray.

  • The muffin itself sets the level — as a baked muffin category, it matches moderate in the database, which is what puts the whole item at moderate.

  • What that means for you — there is no single high driver here, so it sits in the middle rather than the top tier, and the rest of the ingredients are milder.

On this menu, a plain fresh roll or baguette tends to be lower than a muffin if you want to step down further.

This rating comes from Panera Bread's own published ingredient statement, read on August 23, 2026. Restaurant recipes vary by location and change over time, so always check the current listing: source 1, source 2. How we rate foods →
