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 A
- The label lists one food, so the grade is GoutSafe's own grade for tea: A. Black tea and green tea grade the same. Source on GoutSafe.
- Under 1 mg of purine per serving, well under 1% of the 400 mg daily guide.
- The panel lists 0 g of total sugars per serving and no added-sugar line.
The label lists one food, so this product takes GoutSafe's own grade for it.
