Plain hot sauce is low in purines and generally safe for gout, but check labels for added sugars or yeast extract.
Good
Hot sauce is very low in purines and contains capsaicin, which has anti-inflammatory properties. Plain varieties with peppers, vinegar, and salt are safe for gout.
Bad
Some brands add high-fructose corn syrup or yeast extract, which can raise uric acid. It is often paired with high-purine foods like red meat or beer that trigger flares.
