Is chunou sauce (medium thick, japan) low FODMAP?

These results apply to the medium-thick sauce entry; thickness or a similar bottle label does not establish equivalent portions for another sauce style.
Chunou Sauce (Medium Thick, Japan) and IBS: what to know
For someone tracking IBS meals, record the Chunou sauce separately from the crumbed food, cabbage or other accompaniments it is served with. A generous squeeze can be harder to estimate than a measured side portion. The sauce's low rating does not describe the complete meal or predict an individual's response.
Gut-friendly ways to eat chunou sauce (medium thick, japan)
Measure a small amount into a dish before using it as a topping or dip. Spread it across the food with a spoon instead of repeatedly squeezing from the bottle. If mixing it into a glaze, keep track of the original sauce added. Japanese mayonnaise, sometimes served alongside, has its own portion guide.
