Low FODMAP
Toffee
Safe in normal portions. Unlikely to trigger symptoms.
Toffee caramelizes sugar with butter until hard and brittle. The sugar base remains low in FODMAPs, while butter contributes minimal lactose. The high temperature process does not reduce carbohydrate content. Careful dairy measurement ensures this treat stays manageable. Most sensitive individuals can safely enjoy a few pieces when ingredients are verified.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
The minimal lactose in traditional toffee stays well within low thresholds when measured precisely. You can safely prioritize simple sugar and butter recipes without dairy-heavy additions. Always verify commercial blocks do not contain hidden wheat thickeners or high-fructose syrups. Store wrapped tightly to prevent moisture absorption that alters texture and chewing time.
