Snack bars vary in gout safety—avoid those with high-fructose corn syrup or animal protein isolates.
Good
A whole-food bar made from nuts, seeds, oats, and minimal low-fructose sweeteners can be a safe, convenient snack. Plant-based protein bars are preferable.
Bad
Many commercial snack bars contain high-fructose corn syrup, which can spike uric acid. Bars with whey, casein, or beef protein isolates are higher in purines.
