These are common triggers for many people even in small amounts, so they can affect you more than the score alone suggests — the score weights them by how far down the list they appear.

Shown as a typical cheese score

Our ingredient read came out higher than usual for cheese, and we could only match part of the label — so we've shown the typical range for this kind of food instead. Most hard cheeses are gentle (very little lactose). Soft, creamy ones are a touch higher.

Our raw ingredient read was 8.5 / 10 — shown below for transparency.

Ingredient lists are ordered by amount, so we weight the first ingredients most and trailing ones (like a pinch of seasoning) much less. Exact proportions aren't published, so the score is still an estimate.

Garlic-infused oil

Keeps the flavour and texture as close to the original as possible.

Monash: garlic fructans don't leach into oil, so infused oil delivers the aroma without the FODMAP load.

Combined load for these items is 1.6 vs 7.3 for garlic — about 5.7 points lower.
Balancedflavor bundle · confidence C

Garlic-infused oil + chives + soy sauce

A middle ground between staying true to the dish and easing symptoms.

Infused oil plus chives for allium character and a splash of soy for umami body.

Combined load for these items is 3.8 vs 7.3 for garlic — about 3.5 points lower.
Safestsafe default · confidence C

Ginger + fresh herbs

Lowest likely gas, urgency, residue and irritation.

When a true garlic note isn't essential, ginger and herbs carry the dish without any allium FODMAPs.

Combined load for these items is 2.0 vs 7.3 for garlic — about 5.3 points lower.
