AGood

Are heavy cream and half & half OK for gout?

Yes, for most brands. GoutSafe grades fresh animal cream A (Good), at 0 mg of purine per 100 g. Of the 13 products here, 7 rate Good and 6 Moderate. All 6 below Good are held there by ultra-processing. Their purine is low, under 1 mg a serving, so processing, not purine, sets that grade. The processing class comes from Open Food Facts, product by product, so two near-identical recipes can rate differently. The best-rated is Clover Sonoma Organic Heavy Whipping Cream (A, Good).

Highest-rated of each kind

Heavy cream (8): Clover Sonoma Organic Heavy Whipping Cream (A, Good)
Half & half (3): Great Value Half & Half (A, Good)
Light cream (2): Dairy Pure Light Cream (A, Good)

Each product is rated from its own label, so added sugar, yeast extract and other ingredients can move a product above or below the food's grade.

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. Commission and sponsorship play no part. Read the full method.
