Mozzarella is very low in purines and can be a safe dairy choice for people with gout.
Good
Its low purine content and dairy proteins may help lower uric acid levels and provide a gout-friendly protein alternative. Choosing part-skim or low-fat varieties enhances these benefits.
Bad
Whole-milk or high-fat mozzarella may impair kidney function over time due to saturated fat. Processed or pre-shredded versions often contain excess sodium and additives that could promote inflammation.
