Caesar Dressing

Caesar Dressing is low risk in a normal serving and a good everyday choice for most people with gout. A typical 30 g serving has about 11 mg of purines, about 3% of a ~400 mg working daily target.

General information, not a substitute for advice from your doctor or dietitian.

This purine value is inferred, not measured directly for this food. See the sources note below for how it was derived.

Even a large serving stays well under a day's purines.

Only part of these purines counts toward gout: the 11 mg here counts as roughly 6 mg toward your gout risk.

Caesar Dressing is an easy choice to keep on hand.

Why grade A: per 100 g and processing

Per 100 g (for comparison)

Purines Estimated
36 mg/100g
LowModerateHighVery high

Low for gout (< 50 mg/100g).

Fructose Estimated
1 g/100g
LowModerateHighVery high

Low for gout (< 3 g/100g).

Processing: NOVA 3 of 4 (processed food). How processing affects the grade.

Good to know: Recipe-derived estimate. Nearly all purine comes from the anchovy fraction. An anchovy-free Caesar would be far lower.
Diet is part of the picture, not all of it

For most people the body makes the majority of its own uric acid. Food contributes the smaller share. Eating well lowers your risk and helps you feel in control, but for many people diet alone does not bring uric acid down enough to stop flares. Medication often does the heavy lifting. Use these grades to make easier daily choices, and work with your doctor on the full plan.
