Is Clif Bar (Original, Chocolate Chip) low FODMAP?

FODMAP score

High FODMAP

No — the original Clif Bar stacks several fermentable sources in one big 68g bar: chicory fiber (inulin), whole roasted soybeans and soy flour (GOS), and barley malt extract (fructans). The oat base is fine in modest amounts, but a full bar is a large oat serving with those extras layered on. The sweeteners are actually the safe part — brown rice syrup is glucose-based.

What's inside

Chicory fiberAdded inulin, a fast-fermenting fructan, listed mid-label in the current formulation.

Roasted soybeans and soy flourWhole-soy ingredients carry GOS, unlike stripped-down soy protein isolate.

Barley malt extractA fructan source, though present in a small amount.

Organic rolled oatsFine at half-cup servings, but a dense 68g bar pushes the oat portion up.

Organic brown rice syrupGlucose-polymer sweetener with no excess fructose.

Soy protein isolateThe isolation process strips out the GOS carbohydrates.

📏 One bar is a hefty 68g — roughly double the weight of most snack bars, which doubles every ingredient's FODMAP load too.

Gentler alternatives

↳Half a Clif Bar — Halving the portion halves the inulin, GOS, and oat load if you tolerate small amounts.

↳Peanut butter rice-crisp bars sweetened with rice syrup — Same energy-bar role without chicory fiber, whole soy, or barley malt.

↳Fody snack bars — Purpose-built low-FODMAP bars with no inulin or whole-soy ingredients.
