Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores dried cranberries at a serving of 1 tbsp (13 g); at 2 tbsp 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.

How much is OK?
This food's verdict depends on the serving. The bands below show where the load builds, group by group.
Fructans
Drying concentrates fructans, so a small handful overshoots; brands sweetened with apple juice concentrate add excess fructose on top of the fructan load.
Bands reflect published FODMAP research for typical preparations — individual tolerance varies, especially mid-reintroduction.
