Margarine & Gout

Safe to Eat

Margarine contains just 0mg/100g of purine — safely within the low-purine range. For gout patients, this makes it a worry-free choice. 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.
