Is Panera Bread Tea High in Histamine?

Panera Bread Tea

Low histamine

Plain black tea is low in histamine with nothing added to push it up.

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 simply brewed black tea, with no fruit, citrus, or flavor blends mixed in.

Just black tea — on its own it sits low, without the citrus or liberator ingredients that raise flavored blends.
Nothing else added — there is no orange, mint, or fruit concentrate here, so the rest of the cup stays mild.

This is one of the easier low-histamine drinks to pick off the menu.
