Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores stock cube at a serving of certified low-FODMAP stock only; at standard commercial cubes/powder 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.
