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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| salmon | canned salmon (C) | 133 mg | up to 100% | 113 mg | 113 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.
- Its main ingredient, canned salmon, is graded C on GoutSafe, and a product never rates safer than its main ingredient. Source on GoutSafe.
- About 37 mg of purine per serving, and at most 113 mg (28% of the 400 mg daily guide), mostly from canned salmon. Source on GoutSafe.
- The Nutrition Facts panel lists 2.5 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.
