Purine and sugar, by the numbers
| Serving | 1 Sandwich (70 g) |
|---|---|
| Purine per serving | about 1 mg, at most 4 mg (1% of the 400 mg daily guide) |
| Purine per 100 g | at most 6 mg |
| Purine before GoutSafe's weighting | at most 14 mg per serving |
| Main purine source | dark chocolate |
| Fructose per serving | 5.5 g |
| Added sugar per serving | 11 g |
| Total sugar per serving | 14 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
| Ingredient | Matched GoutSafe food | Purine in that food, per 100 g | Share of the product | Purine at that share, per serving | Counted in the worst case |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| chocolate wafers | dark chocolate (C) | 26 mg | up to 50% | 9 mg | 3 mg |
| wheat flour | bread flour (A) | 26 mg | up to 17% | 3 mg | under 1 mg |
| cocoa processed with alkali | unsweetened cocoa powder (A) | 59 mg | up to 4.2% | 2 mg | under 1 mg |
| chocolate | chocolate (C) | 8 mg | up to 2.8% | under 1 mg | under 1 mg |
| cream | fresh animal cream (A) | 0 mg | up to 20% | 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 has no processing class for it, but its label lists caramel color, an ingredient Open Food Facts treats as a marker of ultra-processing (NOVA 4), and GoutSafe's rule keeps ultra-processed foods at Moderate (C) or below. Source on GoutSafe.
- Its main ingredient, chocolate wafers, which GoutSafe rates like dark chocolate, is graded C on GoutSafe, and a product never rates safer than its main ingredient. Source on GoutSafe.
- Up to 4 mg of purine per serving, under 2% of the 400 mg daily guide. Source on GoutSafe.
- The Nutrition Facts panel lists 11 g of added sugar per serving, about half of it fructose. 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.
