Use sparingly; small condiment amounts are likely fine, but hypoxanthine purines and added fructose pose a double risk.
Good
Used in small amounts (1 tablespoon) as a flavoring, it adds negligible purines. It can complement a gout-friendly stir-fry loaded with vegetables and tofu.
Bad
It contains hypoxanthine, a purine that rapidly raises uric acid, plus added sugar or high-fructose corn syrup, which independently triggers urate production. Best avoided during flares.
