Frankfurter Mixed Meat & Gout

Avoid

Frankfurter Mixed Meat has a high purine content of 169.5mg/100g — well above the safe threshold for gout. It's one of the foods to avoid. Processed meats add preservatives, sodium, and saturated fat to the purine load — a triple risk for gout inflammation beyond just the purine numbers.
