Your feedback
Good for you

Rice cakes are very low in purines. The sauce (gochujang) is not a high-purine trigger. Occasional moderate servings are likely safe for well-controlled gout.

Bad for you

High added sugar (12–18 g) spikes uric acid via fructose. The rice cakes' extreme glycemic index (82–91) impairs uric acid excretion. Fish cakes add moderate purines. Also very high in sodium.
