How to Use This Low Purine Diet Chart

Welcome to our complete low purine diet chart — the largest free database of 150+ foods classified by their purine content. This uric acid food checker is designed to help you instantly determine whether a food is safe, moderate, or risky for gout management. Simply search for any food using the search bar below, or browse by category using the filter buttons.

Every food in our database is assigned a traffic light color based on its purine content per 100 grams. Green foods contain under 50mg of purines and are considered safe for most people following a gout diet. Yellow foods range from 50 to 150mg per 100g and should be consumed in moderation. Red foods exceed 150mg per 100g and should be avoided, especially during gout flare-ups.

Understanding the purine content of foods is the first step toward lowering uric acid naturally. Research shows that a well-managed low purine diet can reduce serum uric acid levels by 10-15%, significantly decreasing the frequency and severity of gout attacks. Our food classification system makes it easy to identify which foods support your dietary goals and which ones to limit.

Use this chart alongside our Daily Purine Intake Calculator to track your total daily purine consumption. You can also generate a personalized Gout Meal Plan based on your specific phase — whether you are in remission, experiencing a flare, or managing chronic gout. For detailed information about any individual food, click on it to view its full profile with dietary advice, preparation tips, and low-purine alternatives.

This purine food chart is regularly updated using data from USDA FoodData Central and peer-reviewed nutritional studies. Whether you are newly diagnosed with gout or have been managing it for years, this tool gives you the information you need to make confident dietary choices every day.
