Seen a different rating somewhere else?+
Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores artichoke heart at a serving of 2 hearts, drained (about 50 g); at any typical serving it belongs in the high band. A source quoting the larger serve will call it high, and one quoting the smaller will call it low — the same food, measured at two different amounts.

How much is OK?
This food's verdict depends on the serving. The bands below show where the load builds, group by group.
Fructans
Canning leaches much of the fructans into the liquid, so drain well (a quick rinse helps) and weigh the hearts after draining. Choose hearts packed in water or brine — marinated versions often hide garlic or onion. Fresh globe artichoke is a different, much stricter story.
Bands reflect published FODMAP research for typical preparations — individual tolerance varies, especially mid-reintroduction.
