Purine and sugar, by the numbers

Serving1 SHAKE (330 ml)
Purine per servingunder 1 mg (0% of the 400 mg daily guide)
Purine per 100 gunder 1 mg
Purine before GoutSafe's weightingunder 1 mg per serving

Fructose per serving0.5 g
Added sugar per servingnot on the label
Total sugar per serving1 g

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 calcium caseinate, 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.
  • Under 1 mg of purine per serving, well under 1% of the 400 mg daily guide.
  • The panel lists 1 g of total sugars per serving and no added-sugar line.

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.
