Teriyaki Sauce & Gout

Avoid

At 0mg/100g of purine, Teriyaki Sauce is in the high-risk category. Gout patients should avoid it or consume only tiny portions rarely. While Teriyaki 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.
