AGood

Is sourdough bread OK for gout?

Yes, for most brands. GoutSafe grades sourdough bread A (Good), at 12 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, at most 14 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 San Luis Sourdough Loaf (A, Good).

Compare with sliced bread, rated by the same method.

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.
