Is Heinz Cream of Tomato Soup low FODMAP?

Cautiously — Heinz Cream of Tomato lands in the moderate zone, and dairy, not onion, is the reason. The label is unusually clean for a tinned soup: tomatoes (89%), water, modified cornflour, sugar, rapeseed oil, dried skimmed milk, salt, cream, milk proteins, citric acid and unspecified spice and herb extracts — no onion or garlic declared anywhere, which most tinned tomato soups can't say. Two loads remain: lactose and tomato volume. Dried skimmed milk plus cream put real lactose into every can, and at 89% tomatoes a full 400 g can is a lot of concentrated tomato — fine by the cupful, but the fructose adds up when the whole can is the serving, as it usually is. Half a can alongside something else keeps both in check; a full can is a bigger ask that depends mostly on how you handle lactose. The 'spice extracts' and 'herb extract' aren't itemised, so a sliver of uncertainty stays, but the declared list gives no allium red flags. Among UK tinned soups — a category that usually leads with onion — this is one of the more workable options, portion permitting.

📏 Half a can (200 g) with a sandwich keeps both the lactose and the concentrated-tomato fructose modest. The everyday habit of downing the full 400 g can doubles both in one sitting.
