A sardine sandwich is extremely high in purines and strongly linked to gout flares.
Good
The bread component is low in purines, but it doesn't meaningfully reduce the overall high purine load of the sandwich.
Bad
Sardines provide 345–480 mg of purines per 100 g, often exceeding half the daily purine limit for gout. Pairing with sugary drinks or alcohol further spikes uric acid and flare risk.
