Certain high FODMAP ingredients are commonly added to food products.
It’s important you are aware of these if you are following a low FODMAP diet.
That way you’ll know exactly what to look for on the ingredients label when shopping.
You can also print or save a “cheat sheet” chart below, which is handy when shopping or cooking.
Disclaimer: this is not necessarily a complete list as new ingredients are tested often. In other words, just because an ingredient is not on this list does not mean that it’s low FODMAP.
