Is Chick-fil-A Polynesian Sauce low FODMAP?

Mostly yes, with a serving cap — Polynesian Sauce is a sweet-and-sour dip whose retail label leads with the tame stuff: sugar, soybean oil, water, corn syrup, cider vinegar, distilled vinegar, and tomato paste. Sugar is balanced sucrose and the corn syrup here is a glucose-based syrup rather than high fructose corn syrup, so the heavy sweetness is not actually the main FODMAP concern. The watch items are dehydrated onion and dehydrated garlic, which appear after salt near the bottom of the ingredient list — present, but in small quantity relative to the whole bottle. Tomato paste contributes a little concentrated fructose, though it ranks low here too. That combination puts the bottle in moderate territory: a one- to two-tablespoon dip keeps the fructan dose genuinely small, while pouring it over a whole tray of nuggets as a glaze multiplies everything several-fold. Between the two Chick-fil-A retail bottles, this one carries somewhat less total garlic than the original Chick-fil-A Sauce, which lists garlic three times. If you want the sweet-tangy profile with zero fructans, a quick homemade sweet-and-sour is one of the easiest condiment swaps there is.

📏 One to two tablespoons as a dip is the sensible cap; using the bottle as a glaze or stir-in for a full sheet-pan meal multiplies the dehydrated onion and garlic well past a small dose.
