Is Taco Bell Gordita Flatbread High in Histamine?

Taco Bell Gordita Flatbread

Moderate histamine

The gordita flatbread is moderate from its wheat, barley flour, yeast, and soybean oil.

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.

Gluten

This is a soft leavened flatbread made with wheat and malted barley flour, landing at moderate.

Flours and yeast — the wheat flour, malted barley flour, and the yeast used to raise it all carry a moderate level, which forms the core of the rating.
Soybean oil adds to it — the soybean oil in the dough is also moderate, so between the flours, yeast, and oil the whole flatbread sits at moderate.

For a lower base on the same menu, the white corn shell leaves out the flour, yeast, and soybean oil.
