Common questions about Burger King

Are there any low-histamine breakfast items at Burger King?

Yes, 2 of the 11 breakfast items are rated low: the Fluffy Eggs and the Breakfast Syrup. The other 7 breakfast items are rated moderate and 2 are rated high, with buttermilk, pickled chili pepper, and lemon juice among the drivers in that group.

Are the sauces low histamine?

No, all 8 sauces are rated high. The main drivers in that group are lemon juice on 4 of them, pickled chili pepper on 3, and tomato paste, tamarind, and mustard on 2 each.

What can I ask to leave off a burger?

Burger King lists american cheese, ketchup, and pickles as components you can leave off. Ketchup and pickles are each drivers that push 2 burger items to high, so leaving them off addresses those specific drivers.

Are the fries and hash browns low histamine?

Both French Fries and Hash Browns are rated moderate rather than low, and the third side in that group is rated high. So no side lands in the low tier here.
