Noodle Ramen

Noodle Ramen is fine in moderation. Watch your portion size, especially during a flare. A typical 140 g serving has about 30 mg of purines, about 8% of a ~400 mg working daily target.

General information, not a substitute for advice from your doctor or dietitian.

Low in purines, but ultra-processed. Ultra-processed foods are linked to higher gout risk on their own, so we do not rate this as safe to eat freely. (UK Biobank 2024)

Even a large serving stays well within a ~400 mg working daily purine target.

These are plant purines, which research links far more weakly to flares: the 30 mg here counts as roughly 9 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.
