Safe to Eat

At 0.2mg/100g of purine, Heavy Cream falls well under the 50mg threshold — a safe and healthy choice for anyone managing gout. Dairy products are naturally low in purines and may actively help lower uric acid levels. The Arthritis Foundation and Cleveland Clinic both recommend low-fat dairy as part of a gout management diet.
