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 58 mg of purine per serving, and at most 170 mg (43% of the 400 mg daily guide), mostly from chicken breast (cooked). Source on GoutSafe.
  • The Nutrition Facts panel lists 0 g of added sugar per serving.

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.
