Soy "Venison" (dried)
Also listed as: Instant-vegetarian dried 'deer' from soy
Soy "Venison" (dried) is low in purines and generally safe for people with gout in normal portions. A typical 100 g serving has about 116 mg of purines, about 29% of a ~400 mg working daily target. It is relatively high in purines per 100 g, but plant purines are only weakly linked to flares, so it stays a safe choice.
General information, not a substitute for advice from your doctor or dietitian.
A processed plant-based meat substitute. It is low in purines and a sound swap for higher-purine meat, though more processed than a whole food.
How much can I eat?
A typical serving is about 100 g, which delivers 116 mg of purines, or about 29% of a ~400 mg working daily target.
You could have up to about 6 oz (175 g) before this reaches half a ~400 mg working daily purine target.
These are plant purines, which research links far more weakly to flares: the 116 mg here counts as roughly 35 mg toward your gout risk.
Portion size is what matters most here, and it’s easy to misjudge by eye. A kitchen scale makes it simple.

Why grade B
Safe for most people in normal portions.
Per 100 g (for comparison)
Moderate for gout (50–150 mg/100g).
Low for gout (< 3 g/100g).
Processing: NOVA 4 of 4. How processing affects the grade.
These are plant purines. Research links purines from vegetables, legumes, and mushrooms far more weakly to gout flares than purines from meat and seafood, so the per-100g figure overstates the real risk here.
