Is Papa Murphy's Balsamic Vinaigrette High in Histamine?

Papa Murphy's Balsamic Vinaigrette

High histamine

This dressing is high, driven by both the balsamic vinegar and the aged parmesan.

This is sold raw and you bake it at home, which is the freshest case on this whole list. Nothing sits in a warmer, and you control how long it waits between the shop and the oven. Refrigerate it as soon as you get home and bake it the same day, because histamine builds up as protein foods sit whether that happens in a kitchen or in your fridge.

Dairy

It combines water, balsamic vinegar, canola oil, fructose, parmesan cheese, and garlic.

Balsamic vinegar — vinegar is a fermented product, and balsamic runs high, so it sets the tone here on its own.
Aged parmesan — parmesan is a hard, aged cheese, and aging builds up histamine, so it lands high too and keeps the dressing up.

A simple drizzle of plain oil is a far lower-histamine choice.
