Is Tim Hortons Chocolate Glazed High in Histamine?

Tim Hortons Chocolate Glazed

High histamine

This chocolate doughnut runs high, driven by the cocoa and 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 chocolate glazed is a cocoa doughnut on an enriched-flour base with a chocolate glaze.

Cocoa and chocolate carry it — cocoa and the chocolate glaze are both high, so the flavor that defines this doughnut is also what pushes it up, along with the high defatted soy flour.
The base adds to it — the enriched flour and soybean oil each land moderate, so even without the chocolate the dough is not neutral.

A plain yeast-raised doughnut on the same menu tends to be lower.
