Mango Juice (nectar)
Mango Juice (nectar) is fine in moderation. Watch your portion size, especially during a flare. A typical 240 g serving has about 7 mg of purines, about 2% of a ~400 mg working daily target. It also carries about 9.6 g of fructose per serving, which raises uric acid on its own.

How much can I eat?
A typical serving is about 240 g, which delivers 7 mg of purines, or about 2% of a ~400 mg working daily target.
Added fructose raises uric acid on its own, so keep sugary foods and drinks small. This is the fructose, not the total sugar: a sucrose-sweetened product carries roughly twice this much sugar overall.
Evidence: Ayoub-Charette et al., J Nutr 2021 (fructose by food source) · White et al., Am J Clin Nutr 2018 (whole apple vs. a fructose drink, matched dose)
Purines are not the limit here: even a large serving stays well within a ~400 mg working daily purine target. The sugar is what climbs with the portion.
Only part of these purines counts toward gout: the 7 mg here counts as roughly 4 mg toward your gout risk.
Mango Juice (nectar) fits in moderation, so portion is the thing to get right.

Why grade C
Fine in moderation. Mind your portion size, especially during a flare.
Added fructose raises uric acid as your body breaks it down, even when the purine number looks low.
Per 100 g (for comparison)
Low for gout (< 50 mg/100g).
Moderate for gout (3–8 g/100g).
Fructose here is a category-level estimate, not a direct measurement for this food.
Processing: NOVA 1 of 4 (unprocessed or minimally processed). How processing affects the grade.
Juice delivers the sugar of several pieces of fruit in a glass you can finish in a minute, and cohort studies link even unsweetened 100% juice to higher gout risk (about 41% for a daily glass of orange juice). Whole fruit is the safer choice; if you drink juice, keep the glass small.
