Is Kallo Organic Chicken Stock Cubes low FODMAP?

FODMAP score

40

Moderate

Kallo Organic Chicken Stock Cubes are the cleanest mainstream cube on UK supermarket shelves — the label has no wheat, no garlic and no celery, and the only flagged ingredient is onion, sitting in last place on the list, which means it is present in the smallest proportion. The full ingredients are sea salt, potato starch, sustainable palm fat, sugar, chicken fat (3.5%), yeast extract, natural chicken flavour, chicken powder (1%), spices and herbs (turmeric, black pepper, parsley, rosemary) and onion, and the pack is gluten- and lactose-free with no added MSG. For anyone who has scanned the big-brand cubes and found onion, wheat or celery leading every list, this is the near-miss worth knowing about: at one cube diluted into roughly 500ml, the trace of onion in a single serving is minimal, and plenty of sensitive cooks use these without trouble. It still can't be called onion-free, which keeps it out of the low band and makes it a personal-tolerance call during a strict elimination phase. If you need genuinely zero onion, the swaps below close that final gap.

What's inside

OnionPresent, but last on the list — the smallest proportion in the cube, and the one thing keeping this out of the low band
Yeast extractSavoury depth without onion or garlic; low FODMAP at these amounts
Potato starchLow FODMAP bulking starch — no wheat anywhere on the label
Spices and herbs (turmeric, black pepper, parsley, rosemary)All low FODMAP seasonings, and notably no celery
SugarPlain sucrose in a tiny amount

📏 One 11g cube into roughly 500ml of water leaves only a trace of onion per serving — comfortably the mildest single-cube option among mainstream UK brands.
