Is Tim Hortons Bell Pepper & Onion Scrambled Egg Pastry High in Histamine?

Tim Hortons Bell Pepper & Onion Scrambled Egg Pastry

Moderate histamine

This pastry is moderate, driven by the filling and the yeasted flour base.

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.

A flaky pastry wrapped around scrambled egg with a bell pepper and onion filling, and it sits at moderate. Here's what's driving that.

The pastry itself — the whole item lands moderate, and the unbleached enriched flour and yeast in the dough both sit moderate.
What's actually fine — the egg, butter, and pepper and onion filling are milder, so the level is really about the yeasted flour rather than any aged or fermented ingredient.

A plain fresh baked item with no yeasted dough would sit lower if you want to go gentler.
