Drying concentrates the sugars four-to-five-fold, so the serve is tiny; draining the oil removes fat, not fructose.
Seen a different rating somewhere else?+
Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores sundried tomatoes at a serving of 2 pieces (8 g); at 5 or more pieces (20 g+) 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.
Excess Fructose
Drying removes most of the water and concentrates the sugars roughly four to five times by weight, which is why the serve is so much smaller than for fresh tomatoes. 2 pieces (8 g) is low, about 4 pieces (16 g) is moderate. Oil-packed pieces are not lower — draining the oil removes fat, not fructose. Softer semi-dried (marinated) tomatoes are less concentrated and tolerate a slightly larger serve, around 13 g.
Bands reflect published FODMAP research for typical preparations — individual tolerance varies, especially mid-reintroduction.
