Is honey mustard low FODMAP?
Honey has a small (1 teaspoon) low-FODMAP serving. It contains high amounts of FODMAPs in larger quantities.
Using maple syrup instead of honey in this recipe offers a similar level of sweetness while allowing greater flexibility in the amount that can be enjoyed while low FODMAPing.
Shopping list
For this simple 3-ingredient dipping sauce, you’ll want to grab:
- Mayonnaise
- Spicy brown mustard (or another low FODMAP mustard)
- Maple syrup
Low FODMAP Notes
Sometimes I share US products made with low FODMAP ingredients to help increase accessibility. Unless noted, these products are not certified and may not be suitable for every person. Please work with your dietitian for personalized recommendations.
Mayonnaise
Generic regular and low-fat mayonnaise have been laboratory-tested by Monash University and have low FODMAP serving sizes. Individual products can vary, and may, occasionally, contain high FODMAP ingredients like onion or garlic. Please double-check ingredients before purchasing.
Some options (ingredients subject to change):
- Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise
- Primal Kitchen Mayo with Avocado Oil
Spicy brown mustard
Some prepared mustards, like regular and Dijon, as well as mustard seeds, have been tested by Monash University and have low FODMAP servings. Spicy brown mustard has not yet been tested; however, many spicy brown mustards in US grocery stores appear to be low FODMAP based on ingredients.
Several options (ingredients subject to change):
- Gulden’s Spicy Brown Mustard (see note on “spices” below)
- Burman’s Spicy Brown Mustard (Aldi)
- Great Value Spicy Brown Mustard (Walmart)
“Spices” listed in the ingredients on products in the United States cannot contain onion or garlic per FDA labeling regulations.
Prepared mustard products, regardless of the variety chosen, can vary in formulations. So, double-check products’ ingredients lists and verify the absence of high FODMAP ingredients before purchasing.

Spicy Brown Mustard has not yet been tested; however, many spicy brown mustards in the US appear to be low FODMAP based on ingredients. If you’re concerned, substitute a Dijon or yellow mustard without high FODMAP ingredients. Both have been tested and have servings on the Monash FODMAP app. As an FYI, “spices” on US product labels cannot contain onion or garlic per FDA labeling regulations.

Thanks! I’m about 6 months in to a low fodmap diet and this has been a great way to add flavor to my meals. I used it for a sausage cheese plate, on sandwiches and on rice with beef and peppers. It reminds me of a salad dressing that was on a chicken salad I always got at Applebee’s as a teen, only theirs was served hot with bacon in it. I think I’ll try that next!

What brand of mustard is low fodmap?
Em Schwartz, MS, RDN says
Hi Michelle, most of the spicy brown mustard products that I’ve looked at in the US are low in FODMAPs. I currently have one (made by Burman’s) from Aldi in my fridge. A couple of other options include Guldan’s (“spices” are low FODMAP in the US) and the Walmart store brand, Great Value.
