Meatless Hot Dog
Also listed as: 'Frankfurter', meatless
Meatless Hot Dog is low in purines and generally safe for people with gout in normal portions. A typical 50 g serving has about 16 mg of purines, about 4% of a ~400 mg working daily target.
General information, not a substitute for advice from your doctor or dietitian.
A processed plant-based meat substitute. It is low in purines and a sound swap for higher-purine meat, though more processed than a whole food.
How much can I eat?
Even a large serving stays well under a day's purines.
These are plant purines, which research links far more weakly to flares: the 16 mg here counts as roughly 5 mg toward your gout risk.
Portion size is what matters most here, and it’s easy to misjudge by eye. A kitchen scale makes it simple.

Why grade B: per 100 g and processing

Low for gout (< 3 g/100g).
Processing: NOVA 4 of 4. How processing affects the grade.
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.
