Good for you

Occasional consumption in small portions may be acceptable if gout is well-controlled with medication and weight is managed.

Bad for you

The fried shell adds inflammatory fats, the meat filling contributes moderate-to-high purines, and sauces may contain high-fructose corn syrup — all of which can raise uric acid and trigger flares.
