Frequently Asked Questions

Accredited restaurants are listed in the ‘FODMAP Friendly Restaurants Directory’ and on an interactive map within the FODMAP Friendly app, making it easy for thousands of users worldwide to locate your venue.

If an accredited recipe changes, it must be updated in the app, as even small changes can impact FODMAP content. If a dish is removed or no longer meets low FODMAP criteria, you must untick “On the Menu” and cease using the logo for that item. Failure to have any accredited items on the menu will result in temporary removal from the Directory and Map.

The process involves downloading the FODMAP Friendly app, registering your restaurant, subscribing to the accreditation program, creating a low FODMAP recipe using the Recipe Maker, and marking it “On the Menu.”

The annual subscription fee for the Restaurant Accreditation Program is only USD $99.

Accreditation can increase your bookings by up to 11%; attract new health-conscious customers (a market 15 times larger than gluten-free), enhance your menu’s credibility, and get your venue listed on the widely used FODMAP Friendly app.1

The accreditation is suitable for a wide range of food service venues, including cafes, restaurants, hotels, bars, meal providers, and meal prep boxes, aiming to support the low FODMAP community.

Restaurant Accreditation does not involve laboratory testing of individual dishes; instead, it’s based on recipes created using the app’s database of lab-tested ingredients. Product Certification, conversely, requires rigorous lab testing of packaged food products.
