Where the purine comes from

IngredientMatched GoutSafe foodPurine in that food, per 100 gShare of the productPurine at that share, per servingCounted in the worst case
light tuna canned tuna (D) 212 mg up to 100% 157 mg 157 mg

red chili peppers green pepper (A) 2 mg up to 13% 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 D

  • Its main ingredient, light tuna, which GoutSafe rates like canned tuna, is graded D on GoutSafe, and a product never rates safer than its main ingredient. Source on GoutSafe.
  • About 55 mg of purine per serving, and at most 157 mg (39% of the 400 mg daily guide), mostly from canned tuna. Source on GoutSafe.
  • The Nutrition Facts panel lists 3 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.
