Soy Protein Concentrate
Also listed as: Soy protein concentrate, produced by acid wash
Soy Protein Concentrate is low risk in a normal serving and a good everyday choice for most people with gout. A typical 30 g serving has about 58 mg of purines, about 14% of a ~400 mg working daily target. It is relatively high in purines per 100 g, but plant purines are only weakly linked to flares, so it stays a safe choice.
General information, not a substitute for advice from your doctor or dietitian.
Value is per 100g of soy protein concentrate, a processed ingredient rather than a whole food eaten by the 100g. It is used in modest amounts within other foods, so a normal intake delivers less purine than this per-100g figure.
How much can I eat?
Up to about ½ cup (105 g) keeps you under half a day's purines.
These are plant purines, which research links far more weakly to flares: the 58 mg here counts as roughly 17 mg toward your gout risk.
Soy Protein Concentrate is an easy choice to keep on hand.

Why grade A: per 100 g and processing
Per 100 g (for comparison)
High for gout (150–300 mg/100g).
Low for gout (< 3 g/100g).
Fructose here is estimated, not measured directly for this food.
Processing: NOVA 1 of 4 (unprocessed or minimally processed). How processing affects the grade.
These are plant purines. Research links purines from vegetables, legumes, and mushrooms far more weakly to gout flares than purines from meat and seafood, so the per-100g figure overstates the real risk here.
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.
