Foie Gras

Foie Gras is higher risk. Keep portions small and occasional, especially during a flare. A typical 40 g serving has about 33 mg of purines, about 8% of a ~400 mg working daily target.

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

This is liver (or another organ gout guidance names by name). It measures only moderate purine here because it is fat-diluted or a small portion, but liver and kidney are the organ meats most strongly linked to gout, so we rate it Limit, not safe. Keep portions very small, and skip it during a flare.

Even a large serving stays well within a ~400 mg working daily purine target.

Portion size is what matters most here, and it’s easy to misjudge by eye. A kitchen scale makes it simple.
