Not medical advice

GoutPlate is an information tool, not a healthcare provider. Nothing on this site is medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and nothing here is a substitute for guidance from your own physician, rheumatologist, or dietitian. Food choices interact with medication, kidney function, and many individual factors that this site cannot see. Talk to a qualified professional before making changes to your diet or treatment.

GoutPlate is run by a person who has gout and is not a medical professional.

Where the data comes from

Purine values (mg per 100 g of food, or per 100 mL for beverages) come from the USDA/ODS-NIH Database for the Purine Content of Foods, Release 2.0 (2025). Fructose, calorie, and alcohol figures come from USDA FoodData Central. Every value shown in the food database links to its source.

Limitations

• Laboratory values differ between studies and samples. Where the source database contains multiple results for the same food, GoutPlate picks one conservative value — it is not the only number ever measured.
• Purine content varies with variety, cut, cooking method, and portion size. The 100 g values on this site are a starting point, not a measurement of your plate.
• Missing data is shown as “No data available”. Values are never estimated or filled in by AI.
• The purine level badges (Low / Moderate / High) are a plain categorization of the numbers above, not a statement about whether a food fits your diet.
• Beverage purine values are per 100 mL and are deliberately not given a badge: the risks around alcohol are not captured by a purine number alone.

Emergencies

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, contact your local emergency number immediately. Do not rely on this site for urgent decisions.
