FODMAPs is an acronym referring to Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols, a collection of molecules found in food, which can be poorly absorbed by some people.

“Classic meals such as sandwiches are usually off the menu for people with sensitive tummies so we wanted to offer a solution for customers who follow a low FODMAP diet,” brand manager Tom Elliott said.
