Tim Hortons Bacon Grilled Breakfast Wrap
This bacon wrap is high in histamine, from the cured bacon and cultured wheat starch.
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 grilled wheat wrap holding egg, cheese, and bacon.
-
Cured bacon leads — the pork bacon is cured with sodium nitrite and smoke flavoring, which is a classic high-histamine combination.
-
The wrap adds to it — the cultured wheat starch in the tortilla is high, and the enriched wheat flour lands moderate, so the wrap itself is not neutral.
The egg and fresh dairy are the gentler parts, but the bacon and cultured starch set the level.
