Purine and sugar, by the numbers

Serving12 fl oz (355 mL) Per serving (355 ml)
Purine per servingusually under 1 mg, at most 1 mg (0% of the 400 mg daily guide)
Purine per 100 gunder 1 mg
Purine before GoutSafe's weightingat most 2 mg per serving
Main purine sourcefruit juice
Fructose per serving10.9 g
Added sugar per serving18.1 g
Total sugar per serving20 g

The weighted figure is lower than the one before weighting because GoutSafe counts purine from plants at a fraction of the same amount from meat or fish. The grade uses the weighted figure.

Where the purine comes from

IngredientMatched GoutSafe foodPurine in that food, per 100 gShare of the productPurine at that share, per servingCounted in the worst case
pear juice from concentrate fruit juice (D) 1 mg up to 33% 1 mg under 1 mg
mango puree fruit juice (D) 1 mg up to 25% under 1 mg under 1 mg

Purine values come from each matched food's page on GoutSafe. Shares come from label order: US labels list ingredients by weight, so the second ingredient is at most half the product, and anything after "2% or less" is at most 2%. The worst case fills the most purine-dense ingredients to their full share first, until the shares reach the whole product, then applies GoutSafe's weighting by source, which counts plant purines at 0.3, dairy at 0 and organ meat at 1.3 because they raise uric acid by different amounts. The grade uses that worst case. How we rate.

Why it's rated C

  • Open Food Facts classes it as ultra-processed (NOVA 4), and GoutSafe's rule keeps ultra-processed foods at Moderate (C) or below. Source on GoutSafe.
  • About 10.9 g of fructose per serving in a drink. GoutSafe grades drinks at 5 g or more as Moderate (C) and 12 g or more as Limit (D). Source on GoutSafe.
  • Up to 1 mg of purine per serving, under 2% of the 400 mg daily guide. Source on GoutSafe.
  • The Nutrition Facts panel lists 18.1 g of added sugar per serving, about half of it fructose. Source on GoutSafe.
  • High-fructose corn syrup is listed on the label. Source on GoutSafe.

Estimated from the ingredient label. Labels list ingredients by weight but rarely give amounts, so we grade on the most purine the label allows, which can read stricter than the real recipe and never safer. Sugar comes from the Nutrition Facts panel. How we rate.
