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.
General information, not a substitute for advice from your doctor or dietitian.
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?
Even a large serving stays well under a day's purines.
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.

Buying it packaged? GoutMarket, GoutSafe's sister site, grades 12 store-bought products of this kind from their ingredient labels, using this page's purine data.

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.
