Is Sonic Soft Pretzel Twist High in Histamine?

Sonic Soft Pretzel Twist

Moderate histamine

Sonic's Soft Pretzel Twist is moderate in histamine, mainly from the enriched flour and yeast.

Fast food is cooked in batches and held warm rather than made when you order it, so it is rarely as fresh as something cooked at home. That matters here because histamine builds up as protein foods sit, which means the same item can affect you differently depending on how long it waited.

This is a soft yeast-raised pretzel made from enriched flour, oil, and a little whey.

Yeast and flour set the level — the leavening yeast and enriched wheat flour are the moderate drivers that push this pretzel into moderate territory.
The rest is minor — the canola oil, soy lecithin, and whey are supporting ingredients and do not change the pretzel's overall rating.

It is not high, but a plain fresh bread option would land lower if you are keeping things gentle.
