Fish Sauce & Gout

Eat in Moderation

Fish Sauce contains 93.1mg/100g of purine — moderate, not high. It can be part of a gout-friendly diet with sensible portions. While Fish Sauce itself is low in purine, the real gout risk with condiments comes from hidden sugars — especially high-fructose corn syrup — and high sodium content. Always check labels.
