With 0mg/100g of purine, Blue Cheese falls into the moderate category — fine occasionally, but not an everyday staple for gout. Cheese is naturally very low in purine and a good protein source for gout patients. Low-fat varieties like cottage cheese and ricotta are the best choices — full-fat cheese has more saturated fat, which may promote inflammation.
Blue Cheese should be eaten in moderation with gout. It contains 0mg of purine per 100g (moderate range: 50–150mg). It can be part of a gout-friendly diet, but keep portions reasonable and not daily.
