FODMAP score

Low FODMAP
Yes — Cranberry Juice is low FODMAP in normal servings and is generally well tolerated by people with IBS.
Low-FODMAP serving
2 tbsp (30 ml)
Becomes high FODMAP at
generous 1/2 cup (140 ml) or more
Plain unsweetened cranberry juice is low FODMAP at a normal glass; check labels as 'cocktail' blends are often sweetened with high-fructose syrups.
Seen a different rating somewhere else?+
Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores cranberry juice at a serving of 2 tbsp (30 ml); at generous 1/2 cup (140 ml) or more 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.
Based on published FODMAP research and reviewed reference data. Informational only — not medical advice. Tolerance is individual; verify with a dietitian during the elimination phase.
How much is OK?
This food's verdict depends on the serving. The bands below show where the load builds, group by group.
Fructans
Figures are for 100% unsweetened juice — blends padded with apple or pear juice or fructose-based syrups don't qualify at any pour. Sugar-sweetened 'cranberry juice drinks' (~25% juice) also test low around 2/3 glass. Published lab results vary more here than for most juices, so stay at the small end if you're sensitive.
Bands reflect published FODMAP research for typical preparations — individual tolerance varies, especially mid-reintroduction.
