Food

Low in purines but very high in sugar, which can raise uric acid levels and trigger gout flares.

Your feedback
Good for you

Its semolina, yogurt, and butter base is low in purines, so it won't add purine load. A small portion may be okay for well-controlled gout.

Bad for you

High sugar content (50–60g per serving) from sucrose and syrup breaks down into uric acid, raising flare risk, especially if gout is active or poorly controlled.
