Is Tomato pasta sauce Low FODMAP?

Serving thresholds

Thresholds are per sitting. FODMAP load stacks across a meal — two “low” servings of different foods can still add up.

Which FODMAPs are in tomato pasta sauce?

During reintroduction, test the group above one at a time — tolerating tomato pasta sauce depends on your personal threshold for Fructans, not on the food itself.

Good to know

Standard jarred marinara is tomato simmered with onion and garlic — one pasta serve crosses the fructan cutoff.

Where these numbers come from

• Derivation note: Tomato + onion + garlic + olive oil + herbs; onion and garlic fructans above cutoff at one pasta-portion serve.
• Peer-reviewed paper: Varney J et al. (2017) FODMAPs: food composition, defining cutoff values and international application. J Gastroenterol Hepatol 32(S1):53–61.

Phase derives serving thresholds from published research and food-composition data so every number is auditable.
