How we picked

Every product is rated from its ingredient label against GoutSafe's purine and fructose data. Only products rated Good (A or B) can be picks. The first pick is the best-rated product, and each other pick is the best-rated product that earns a distinct role, such as the lowest purine or no added sugar.
