ℹ️ About this guide — methodology, sources & important notes
How products are screened: Each product is assessed by comparing its full ingredient list against published FODMAP cutoff values from Monash University and peer-reviewed literature (Varney et al., 2017, Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology). Products have not been individually lab-tested for FODMAP content by Diet vs Disease.
Store brands covered: Good & Gather™ (G&G), Favorite Day™, and Market Pantry. Name brands carried by Target are also included where relevant. Ingredient lists sourced from target.com, Instacart, Spoonful, OpenFoodFacts, and grate.app.
Ingredient accuracy: Manufacturers may update formulations at any time without notice. Always check the physical label in-store before purchasing.
Who this guide is for: This guide is designed for people in the elimination phase of the low FODMAP diet. Work with your dietitian for reintroduction and personalisation phases.
This guide is not a substitute for the Monash University FODMAP Diet App, personalised dietitian advice, or medical guidance.
Last verified: March 2026. Guide is updated regularly as formulations change.
Sauces & Condiments
Most pasta sauces at Target contain garlic and/or onion — including the entire Good & Gather pasta sauce range. Condiments are a mixed bag; the mustards are your best bet but even those carry an unspecified “spices” flag.
Good & Gather Organic Yellow Mustard (9oz)
Organic Distilled Vinegar, Water, Organic Mustard Seed, Sea Salt, Organic Turmeric (color), Organic Paprika (color), Organic Spices.
Good & Gather Organic Dijon Mustard (9oz)
Organic Distilled Vinegar, Water, Organic Mustard Seed, Sea Salt, Organic Spices.

Bread & Bakery
Target’s Good & Gather brand does not offer a dedicated bread range. Target carries Canyon Bakehouse, Udi’s, and Schar GF bread — these are better choices than store-brand wheat bread. Check labels as formulations vary by flavour.
Canyon Bakehouse Mountain White Sandwich Bread
Water, Brown Rice Flour, Tapioca Starch, Canola Oil, Sugar, Potato Starch, Egg Whites, Cultured Dextrose, Tapioca Syrup, Xanthan Gum, Salt, Yeast, Enzymes.
[Target bread aisle — check your local store]

Water, Tapioca Starch, Brown Rice Flour, Modified Tapioca Starch, Canola Oil, Egg Whites, Sugar, Yeast, Xanthan Gum, Salt, Cultured Dextrose, Ascorbic Acid.
[Target bread aisle — check your local store]
🔴 RED — Products to Avoid
- Good & Gather Whole Wheat Flour — 100% whole wheat; baking with wheat flour is not low FODMAP
- Most in-store bakery breads — typically contain garlic, onion, or high amounts of wheat
- Canyon Bakehouse 7-Grain Sandwich Bread — contains organic agave syrup and molasses
Breakfast Cereals & Oats
Plain oats are one of the best FODMAP-safe breakfast finds at Target. The danger is honey, HFCS, chicory root fibre (inulin), and dried fruit in granolas and “healthy” cereals.
Good & Gather Cinnamon Granola (12oz)
Whole Rolled Oats, Cane Sugar, Expeller Pressed Canola Oil, Rice Flour, Oat Syrup Solids, Molasses, Cinnamon, Salt, Vanilla Extract, Barley Malt Syrup, Natural Flavor, Mixed Tocopherols.
🔴 RED — Products to Avoid
- Good & Gather Organic Honey Almond Granola — contains organic honey
- Good & Gather Honey Almond Granola — contains organic honey
Pasta, Rice & Grains
Target’s Good & Gather pasta range is a standout. Plain wheat pasta is low FODMAP at ½ cup cooked (74g) per Monash. The GF options give you more portion flexibility. All rice products are unrestricted.
Good & Gather Spaghetti (16oz)
Semolina (Wheat), Niacin, Ferrous Sulfate (Iron), Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid.
Good & Gather Penne Rigate (16oz / 32oz)

Cooked Organic Basmati Rice (Water, Organic Basmati Rice), Organic Sunflower Oil, Salt.

Snacks & Chips
Good & Gather’s organic corn tortilla chips are a standout — three varieties, all clean labels. The risk in this category is seasoning blends with garlic and onion powder on flavoured chips.
Good & Gather Organic White Corn Tortilla Chips (12oz)
Organic White Corn, Organic Sunflower Oil And/Or Organic Safflower Oil, Sea Salt.
Good & Gather Organic Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips (12oz)

[Check Target snack aisle]
🔴 RED — Products to Avoid
- Good & Gather Organic Veggie Tortilla Chips — “organic veggie” ingredients not confirmed garlic/onion-free
- Any chips with garlic powder, onion powder, or unspecified “seasoning” blends — check every label
Dairy & Alternatives
Good & Gather has a strong dairy range. Aged/hard cheeses, cream-based products, and plain Greek yogurt are generally safe. Lactose is the FODMAP in dairy — hard aged cheeses have very little.
Good & Gather Greek Plain Whole Milk Yogurt (32oz)
Pasteurized Whole Milk, Live Active Cultures (L. bulgaricus, S. thermophilus, L. acidophilus, Bifidus, L. casei).
Good & Gather Greek Plain Nonfat Yogurt (32oz)

🔴 RED — Products to Avoid
- Good & Gather Flavored Cream Cheeses (Garden Vegetable, Chive & Onion) — contain garlic and/or onion
- Flavored yogurts (any brand) — contain HFCS or large amounts of fruit
- Most soft fresh cheeses (ricotta, cottage cheese at large portions) — high lactose at full-can serving
Chocolate & Candy
Dark chocolate (70%+) is generally safe at 30g. Semi-sweet baking chips are a reliable pick. The traps are HFCS, honey, inulin/chicory root, and sugar alcohols in “sugar-free” options.
Good & Gather Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
Sugar, Chocolate Liquor, Cocoa Butter, Soy Lecithin, Vanilla.
Good & Gather Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
Cocoa (processed with alkali).
[Check Target baking aisle]
Good & Gather Milk Chocolate Chips

🔴 RED — Products to Avoid
- Good & Gather Dark Chocolate Cocoa Mix (K-Cup style) — contains inulin or chicory
- Good & Gather Double Chocolate Flavored Hot Cocoa Mix — not confirmed low FODMAP; likely contains inulin
Drinks & Soda
Good & Gather’s sparkling water range is one of the cleanest in the category — two ingredients, everywhere. All eight flavours screened as safe. Avoid anything sweetened with HFCS, honey, or fruit juice concentrate.
Good & Gather Sparkling Water — Strawberry Mango (8pk/12 fl oz)
Carbonated Water, Natural Flavors.
[Check Target beverage aisle]

🔴 RED — Products to Avoid
- Most regular sodas — contain HFCS (Pepsi, Mountain Dew, regular Coke in cans)
- Diet sodas with sorbitol or mannitol — check labels carefully
Cookies & Biscuits
One of the harder categories. Most cookies contain HFCS, honey, or high FODMAP ingredients. Favorite Day GF cookies are interesting — check the label against this guide before buying.
Favorite Day Gluten Free Soft Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies (7oz)
Gluten Free Flour Blend (Brown Rice Flour, Tapioca Starch, Potato Starch), Sugar, Chocolate Chips (Sugar, Chocolate Liquor, Cocoa Butter, Soy Lecithin, Vanilla Extract), Butter (Cream, Salt), Eggs, Unsulfured Molasses, Vanilla Extract, Salt, Xanthan Gum, Baking Soda.
🔴 RED — Products to Avoid

- Favorite Day Cookie Dough Ice Cream — contains inulin/chicory root extract plus multiple FODMAP triggers
- Most Oreos and branded cookies — HFCS in many; check labels
Ice Cream & Frozen Treats
Most mainstream ice cream is a FODMAP minefield — HFCS, chicory fiber, and high lactose. The best options are lactose-free vanilla ice cream (check Breyers Lactose Free at Target) or sorbet made with low FODMAP fruits.
Favorite Day Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam (13oz — whipped cream style)
Skim Milk, Cane Sugar, Cream, Soy Lecithin, Natural Flavoring, Whole Milk, Salt, And Nitrous Oxide As Whipping Propellant.
🔴 RED — Products to Avoid

- Favorite Day Cookie Dough Ice Cream (1pt) — contains chicory root extract (inulin), erythritol, molasses
- Favorite Day Midnight Mix Ice Cream — contains oatmeal cookie pieces (high fructan load) and chocolate pretzel inclusions
Spreads
Pure peanut butter is a FODMAP-friendly staple. Almond butter is borderline — keep it to 1 tbsp. Good & Gather’s stir variety organic PB is the cleanest single-ingredient option in this category.
Good & Gather Organic Creamy Peanut Butter (16oz — stir variety)
Dry-Roasted Organic Peanuts.
Good & Gather Creamy Peanut Butter (16oz)
Dry Roasted Peanuts, Sugar, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Salt, Molasses.

Frozen Foods & Meals

Shrimp, Salt.

Canned Goods
Plain canned tomatoes (no garlic, no onion, just tomatoes) are gold for FODMAP cooking. No Good & Gather broth or stock was found to be garlic/onion-free — you’ll need to make your own or seek out FODY Foods.

Tomatoes, Tomato Juice, Less Than 2% Of: Salt, Calcium Chloride, Citric Acid.

- Any “Italian style” or “seasoned” canned tomatoes — typically contain garlic and onion
Coffee Creamers & Protein Shakes
Most flavoured coffee creamers contain inulin, chicory root, HFCS, or large amounts of lactose. For coffee creamer, your best Target option is lactose-free milk, a small amount of heavy cream (2 tbsp), or almond milk (max 1 cup).
🔴 RED — Products to Avoid
- Good & Gather Chocolate Protein Bars — dates are the first ingredient; dates are high FODMAP (high fructose)
- Most flavoured coffee creamers (any brand) — typically contain inulin, chicory root, HFCS, or large amounts of lactose
Bars & Portable Snacks
Almost every bar at Target contains dates, honey, or chicory root fibre. Good & Gather’s entire bar range uses dates as the primary ingredient — a high FODMAP ingredient not safe during elimination. Rice cakes with peanut butter remain your best portable snack.
🔴 RED — Products to Avoid
- Good & Gather Date & Nut Bar (all flavours including Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough) — dates are the primary ingredient; high FODMAP
- Good & Gather Protein Bars (Chocolate, Coconut Chocolate) — dates as primary ingredient
- Most granola bars — contain honey or HFCS

- Clif Bar and most energy bars — chicory root fiber (inulin); applies across most of the category
Tea & Coffee
The cleanest category in the guide. Good & Gather’s tea and coffee range is excellent — single-ingredient spice teas and pure arabica coffee. Plain tea and black coffee are always low FODMAP.
Good & Gather Organic Chai Black Tea Blend Tea Bags (20ct)
Organic Black Tea, Organic Cinnamon, Organic Cardamom, Organic Orange Peel, Organic Ginger, Organic Black Pepper, Organic Nutmeg, Organic Clove.

Soup
Almost all canned soups contain garlic and/or onion. Good & Gather’s soup range is no exception. No Good & Gather broth or stock was found to be garlic/onion-free. Make your own stock from low FODMAP vegetables or look for FODY Foods brand.

Butter, Margarine & Cream Cheese
Butter and plain cream cheese are always safe on a low FODMAP diet — the fat content means very little lactose makes it through. The flavoured cream cheeses (garden vegetable, chive & onion) contain garlic and onion — always avoid those.
