Ocean's Halo

Organic Ramen Noodles

Made from one food: organic wheat, rated like bread flour

Purine and sugar, by the numbers

Eating this today?

Serving	65 g
Purine per serving	about 2 mg, at most 8 mg (2% of the 400 mg daily guide)
Purine per 100 g	at most 12 mg
Purine before GoutSafe's weighting	at most 22 mg per serving
Main purine source	uncooked white rice
Fructose per serving	1.5 g
Added sugar per serving	not on the label
Total sugar per serving	3 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
rice noodles: rice	uncooked white rice (A)	33 mg	up to 100%	21 mg	6 mg
soy sauce powder	soy sauce (shoyu) (A)	50 mg	up to 10%	3 mg	2 mg
garlic and onion	garlic (A)	17 mg	up to 5.6%	under 1 mg	under 1 mg
onion extracts	onions (A)	2 mg	up to 5.9%	under 1 mg	under 1 mg
vegetable pack: carrot	carrots (A)	2 mg	up to 5%	under 1 mg	under 1 mg
cabbage	cabbage (A)	3 mg	up to 4.8%	under 1 mg	under 1 mg
green onion	onions (A)	2 mg	up to 4.5%	under 1 mg	under 1 mg
onion and coriander	onions (A)	2 mg	up to 4.3%	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 2 mg of purine per serving, and at most 8 mg (2% of the 400 mg daily guide), mostly from white rice (uncooked). Source on GoutSafe.
The panel lists 3 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.
