Is Tim Hortons Birthday Cake Timbit High in Histamine?

Tim Hortons Birthday Cake Timbit

High histamine

This Birthday Cake Timbit is high, driven mainly by the defatted soy flour.

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 Birthday Cake Timbit is a sweet fried dough ball made from enriched flour, shortening, sugar, and sprinkles, with soy and milk components.

Defatted soy flour — this is the highest item in the mix and is what pushes the whole Timbit into the high range.
The dough base — enriched flour, soybean oil, and wheat starch each sit at moderate, so even setting the soy flour aside the dough keeps it from being a low pick.

A plainer dough item without the added soy flour tends to sit lower.
