Papa Murphy's Cream Cheese

Moderate histamine

This cream cheese topping is moderate in histamine.

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.

This is cream cheese made from pasteurized milk and cream, salt, guar gum, natamycin, and cheese culture.

  • The cream cheese itself — the cultured cream cheese is the moderate driver that keeps this out of the low range.

  • How to think about it — it's milder than a hard aged cheese like cheddar or parmesan, but it still lands in the middle.

If you want lower, a fresh unaged cheese is the move.
