Rice Crackers
Rice Crackers are fine in moderation. Watch your portion size, especially during a flare. A typical 40 g serving has about 6 mg of purines, about 1% of a ~400 mg working daily target.

Low in purines, but ultra-processed. Ultra-processed foods are linked to higher gout risk on their own, so we do not rate this as safe to eat freely. (UK Biobank 2024)
How much can I eat?
A typical serving is about 40 g, which delivers 6 mg of purines, or about 1% of a ~400 mg working daily target.
Even a large serving stays well within a ~400 mg working daily purine target.
These are plant purines, which research links far more weakly to flares: the 6 mg here counts as roughly 2 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.
