Is McCormick Curry Powder low FODMAP?

Mostly fine by the pinch, but check the label first: the typical US curry powder does contain onion. McCormick's standard Curry Powder — the one on most grocery shelves — lists coriander, fenugreek, turmeric, cumin, black pepper, bay leaves, celery seed, nutmeg, clove, onion, ginger, and red pepper. Onion sits tenth of twelve, so the amount landing in a teaspoon-size dose of the blend is small; most of the jar is pure spices that carry no meaningful FODMAP load at cooking amounts, and the celery seed here is not a concern. The catch is how curry powder gets used: a tablespoon or more in a single pot is normal, and if you eat a big share of that pot, the dehydrated onion — a concentrated fructan source — starts to add up. Madras and hot-style curry powders often add garlic on top, and McCormick's Gourmet Organic version also carries onion, so the picture varies jar to jar. If curry night is a regular thing, an allium-free blend is an easy build from spices already on this label — turmeric, coriander, cumin, ginger, fenugreek, black pepper — and tastes remarkably close.

📏 About 1 tablespoon typically seasons a 4-serving pot, putting under a teaspoon of blend — and only a sliver of its onion — on each plate. Caution rises if you use a heaping tablespoon in a single-serving dish or eat most of the pot yourself.
