Poppy seed dressing is low in purines, but commercial versions often contain high-fructose corn syrup that raises uric acid.
Good
The dressing has negligible purines from poppy seeds, which are plant-based and not linked to gout flares. Homemade versions with natural sweeteners are a safer choice.
Bad
Most store-bought brands use high-fructose corn syrup or added sugar, which can spike serum urate. Always check labels and avoid those with HFCS as a primary ingredient.
