Is Potato chips (paprika) 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 potato chips (paprika)?

During reintroduction, test the group above one at a time — tolerating potato chips (paprika) depends on your personal threshold for Fructans, not on the food itself.

Good to know

Mainstream paprika chips (Lay's and similar Dutch/European brands) list onion powder and sometimes yeast extract with garlic in the seasoning — so the red flecks aren't the only fructan source. One small bag crosses the cutoff. Single-spice "natural paprika" or paprika-and-salt-only artisanal bags are the exception; verify the label.

Where these numbers come from

• Derivation note: Standard commercial paprika seasoning blends combine paprika with onion powder (and often garlic/yeast extract); fructan dose above cutoff at one 30 g bag per Varney 2017.
• 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.
