No added sugar

Purine and sugar, by the numbers

Eating this today?

Serving	8 fl oz (240 mL) Per serving (240 ml)
Purine per serving	about 2 mg, at most 4 mg (1% of the 400 mg daily guide)
Purine per 100 g	at most 2 mg
Purine before GoutSafe's weighting	at most 12 mg per serving
Main purine source	apple
Fructose per serving	6 g
Added sugar per serving	10.1 g
Total sugar per serving	11 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
apple	apple (C)	14 mg	up to 33%	11 mg	3 mg
clarified mango juices from concentrate	fruit juice (D)	1 mg	up to 25%	under 1 mg	under 1 mg
fruit and vegetable juice	fruit juice (D)	1 mg	up to 2%	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 6 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 4 mg of purine per serving, under 2% of the 400 mg daily guide. Source on GoutSafe.
The Nutrition Facts panel lists 10.1 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.
