Catch-all for seasoned chips that aren't covered by a specific entry (paprika, cheese & onion, sour cream & onion, BBQ, ranch — each tracked separately). Most commercial seasoning blends carry onion and/or garlic powder for depth, putting one small bag above the per-serve fructan cutoff. Rare single-spice bags may be lower; check the ingredient list.
Where these numbers come from
- Derivation note: Mainstream chip seasonings list onion and/or garlic powder among the top ingredients; one 30 g bag exceeds the per-serve fructan cutoff documented in 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.
