Purine and sugar, by the numbers

Serving170 g
Purine per servingunder 1 mg (0% of the 400 mg daily guide)
Purine per 100 gunder 1 mg
Purine before GoutSafe's weightingat most 2 mg per serving
Main purine sourceplain yogurt
Fructose per serving8 g
Added sugar per servingnot on the label
Total sugar per serving16 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

IngredientMatched GoutSafe foodPurine in that food, per 100 gShare of the productPurine at that share, per servingCounted in the worst case
ingredient not found in regular yogurt plain yogurt (A) 7 mg up to 20% 2 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.
  • Under 1 mg of purine per serving, well under 1% of the 400 mg daily guide. Source on GoutSafe.
  • The panel lists 16 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.
