Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores dried figs at a serving of 1 small dried fig (20 g); at 1 dried fig 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.

This food's verdict depends on the serving. The bands below show where the load builds, group by group.
Excess Fructose
Published lab figures differ slightly (20-30 g passing), so hold to the conservative 20 g while eliminating. The concentrated fructose climbs steeply as serves grow, and fig paste or fig rolls are denser still — treat them as smaller-limit foods.
Bands reflect published FODMAP research for typical preparations — individual tolerance varies, especially mid-reintroduction.
