Breakdown for 25 ml
Is cordial (orange, 25–50% juice, undiluted) low FODMAP?
This portion table measures what comes out of the cordial bottle before dilution. All groups are low at the green amount, with fructose changing at the two larger references. The volume of the finished glass depends on the added water and is not the measurement used for these ratings. This is also a different entry from ready-to-drink orange juice.
Cordial (Orange, 25–50% Juice, Undiluted) and IBS: what to know
If you are comparing drinks in an IBS food diary, note the concentrate volume, the recipe on the label and how much of the prepared drink you drank. A stronger pour into the same glass changes the amount of cordial even though the glass looks equally full. Individual tolerance cannot be read from the traffic-light rating alone.
Gut-friendly ways to eat cordial (orange, 25–50% juice, undiluted)
Pour the measured concentrate first, then dilute according to the product instructions and your preference. For a shared jug, note the total cordial used and divide the mixed drink into known portions. If buying juice instead, check the reconstituted orange juice guide or the fresh-and-reconstituted blend. Their portions concern the drink as supplied, so the numbers are not interchangeable.
Frequently asked questions
How much orange cordial is low FODMAP?
For this 25–50%-juice preparation, 16 ml of undiluted cordial is the recorded green portion.
Why can a small extra pour matter?
The next listed concentrate amounts are 20 ml moderate and 25 ml high in fructose, so free-pouring can change the reference you match.

Can I apply this to every orange-flavoured drink?
Check the product type and juice percentage. A different recipe, bottled soft drink or sugar-free cordial is not automatically covered.
