Becomes high FODMAP at
1 tbsp (21 g) or more
Hot honey is honey infused with chilli and vinegar, so its FODMAP profile is simply honey's: excess fructose. Published FODMAP research puts the low serve at about 1 teaspoon, and a drizzle over pizza, fried chicken or halloumi is usually several times that.

Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores hot honey at a serving of 1 tsp (7 g); at 1 tbsp (21 g) 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.
