Is Amy's Rice Mac & Cheese (Gluten Free) low FODMAP?
FODMAP score
55
Moderate
Half a tray, often yes — the full tray is a lactose question. This is one of the cleaner freezer labels you'll find: rice pasta instead of wheat, no onion, no garlic, no inulin or chicory root, and a short ingredient list you can actually read. Everything hinges on dairy. Organic lowfat milk is the second ingredient and forms the sauce base, so the full 9-oz tray delivers a real lactose dose. The white cheddar and butter, by contrast, contribute very little — aged cheese and butterfat are naturally low in lactose. That makes this an unusually clear-cut product: if lactose isn't a trigger for you, it eats like a genuinely easy meal, because the rice pasta sidesteps wheat fructans entirely and nothing else on the label ferments. If lactose is your trigger, portion is the lever — half the tray is a modest dose, and the whole tray is not. As gluten-free comfort food goes, this is about as friendly as the freezer aisle gets, with one dairy-shaped asterisk.
What's inside
📏 Lactose scales with portion: half the 9-oz tray is a modest dose; the full tray, with milk as the second ingredient, is a meaningful one.
