Is Halloumi Moderate FODMAP?

Only in small portions. Halloumi is moderate FODMAP (lactose).

Halloumi is moderate FODMAP - tolerated by some at small portions and trigger-prone for others. The trigger is lactose, the milk sugar that requires the lactase enzyme to digest. Hard-cheese portions or smaller quantities of soft varieties are usually fine.
