High FODMAP
Banana Ketchup
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Banana ketchup substitutes traditional tomatoes with mashed banana, vinegar, sugar, and spices for a sweet and tangy condiment. Bananas contribute significant fructose and sorbitol, which become highly concentrated during the cooking and reduction process. Many commercial formulations also blend in onion powder, tomato paste, and artificial colorants to mimic traditional ketchup appearance. The combined fruit sugar load and hidden fructans make this sauce difficult to tolerate in standard serving sizes. Strict limitation or recipe substitution is necessary for reliable digestive management.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Recreate a similar sweet and tangy profile using tomato paste blended with glucose syrup, rice vinegar, and certified low-FODMAP spices. Always verify that bottled versions do not contain hidden onion extracts or high-fructose corn syrup before purchasing. Use sparingly as a dipping glaze rather than a primary condiment to minimize fructose exposure per bite.
