With moderation
Food

Pure animal fat is purine-free, but meat drippings concentrate hypoxanthine and should be limited.

Your feedback
Good for you

Strained pure lard or tallow contains negligible purines. Using small amounts for cooking fat is unlikely to trigger a gout flare.

Bad for you

Unstrained meat drippings and gravies concentrate hypoxanthine (a urate-raising purine) up to 3 times the meat itself. The ACR advises limiting these as they raise flare risk.
