Panera Bread Tomato Basil Miche

High histamine

This tomato basil sandwich is high in histamine from the tomato, sharp cheddar, and bacon.

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.

Histamine Liberator Gluten Dairy

This is a tomato basil bread with turkey, tomatoes, bravo sauce, sharp white cheddar, lettuce, and applewood smoked bacon.

  • Tomato and cheddar lead — the tomato in both the bread and the filling is a classic histamine liberator, and the sharp white cheddar is aged, so both run high on their own.

  • Smoked bacon adds more — the uncured applewood smoked bacon is cured and smoked, which puts it high, while the turkey breast and enriched flour sit at moderate.

With tomato, aged cheddar, and bacon all high, a fresh turkey sandwich without them is the gentler pick.
