Pure animal fat is purine-free, but meat drippings concentrate hypoxanthine and should be limited.
Good
Strained pure lard or tallow contains negligible purines. Using small amounts for cooking fat is unlikely to trigger a gout flare.
Bad
Unstrained meat drippings and gravies concentrate hypoxanthine (a urate-raising purine) up to 3 times the meat itself. The ACR advises limiting these as they raise flare risk.
