Purine and sugar, by the numbers

Serving1 English muffin (103 g)
Purine per servingabout 13 mg, at most 31 mg (8% of the 400 mg daily guide)
Purine per 100 gat most 30 mg
Purine before GoutSafe's weightingat most 62 mg per serving
Main purine sourcedried yeast
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.

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%. Plain yeast and hops count at no more than 2% and yeast extract at no more than 5% wherever they sit, since recipes use them in small amounts. 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 13 mg of purine per serving, and at most 31 mg (8% of the 400 mg daily guide), mostly from dried yeast. 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.
