Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores gravy at a serving of homemade gravy made with garlic-infused oil and FODMAP-safe stock; at standard granules/mixes with onion, garlic and wheat flour 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.
