Seen a different rating somewhere else?+
Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores white chocolate at a serving of about 25 g; at more than 50 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.
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.
How much is OK?
This food's verdict depends on the serving. The bands below show where the load builds, group by group.
Lactose
White chocolate is cocoa butter plus milk solids, so lactose tags along — a 4-square treat stays low, and a standard 5-square row edges into moderate. Independent lab figures put the practical ceiling near 38 g; past that it eats like a glass of milk, lactose-wise.
Bands reflect published FODMAP research for typical preparations — individual tolerance varies, especially mid-reintroduction.
