Are Feta and mozzarella Low FODMAP?

Portion-dependent

Low FODMAP only up to the serving size listed — larger servings stack.

Safe serving

40 g, a generous crumbling

FODMAP group responsible

  • Lactose — Disaccharides. Milk sugar. Reduced or absent in aged cheese and lactose-free dairy.

Why

Low FODMAP at 40 g, which is a generous crumbling but not a whole block. Both are useful for adding the savoury sharpness that garlic normally provides.
