Soup (stock, Chinese, dried)
Soup (stock, Chinese, dried) is low in purines and generally safe for people with gout in normal portions. A typical 245 g serving has about 42 mg of purines, about 10% of a ~400 mg working daily target.
General information, not a substitute for advice from your doctor or dietitian.
Value is per 100g of the dried stock, not prepared soup. A serving uses only a small amount of stock (a few grams) made up with water, so a bowl of prepared soup delivers a small fraction of this concentrated per-100g figure.
How much can I eat?
Even a large serving stays well under a day's purines.
Figures use the as-eaten (cooked or reconstituted) concentration.

The figures above are as eaten, the same basis as the grade. They are worked out from the measurement on the dried product, which is 509 mg purine and 0 g fructose per 100 g of powder. Used straight from the jar as a seasoning, those are the numbers that apply.
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.
