Good

**Very low purine load** – The tiny amount of meat is puréed and diluted by fruit, making total purines negligible.
**No added sugar or high-fructose corn syrup** in most brands (check label) – important because excess fructose can raise uric acid.
**Hydrating** – high water content from fruit helps uric acid excretion.
**Low in saturated fat** – supports heart and kidney health.
If an adult were to eat these (not typical), they would not trigger a gout flare from purines.*

Bad

**Nutritionally incomplete for adults** – Too low in protein and calories for adult needs.
**May contain added sugars or fruit concentrates** in some brands – excess fructose can raise uric acid.
**Not a realistic gout concern** – very unlikely to cause issues unless the entire diet is extremely purine-heavy. Also check for **fructose from apple/pear concentrates** which can be moderately high in some brands. Always read the ingredients label.
