Is Tim Hortons Chicken Noodle Soup High in Histamine?

Tim Hortons Chicken Noodle Soup

High histamine

This chicken noodle soup is high in histamine, from the yeast extract, chicken powder, and parmesan.

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 Dairy

This is a broth-style soup with pasta, dehydrated vegetables, chicken, and seasonings.

Yeast extract, chicken powder, and parmesan lead — the concentrated yeast extract and chicken powder are high, and the aged parmesan cheese is high too.
Flour and oil add more — the enriched wheat flour and hydrogenated soybean oil land moderate, along with the turmeric and paprika extractives.

The pasta and vegetables are milder, but the savory concentrates set the level.
