Whitebait (dried)

Whitebait (dried) is fine in moderation. Watch your portion size, especially during a flare. A typical 30 g serving has about 141 mg of purines, about 35% of a ~400 mg working daily target.

General information, not a substitute for advice from your doctor or dietitian.

Value is per 100g of dried whitebait (tiny whole fish), a concentrated topping. A normal serving is a small sprinkle of a few grams, delivering far less purine than this per-100g figure suggests.

This food is very concentrated, so a small serving goes a long way; we don't suggest a larger amount.

Portion size is what matters most here, and it’s easy to misjudge by eye. A kitchen scale makes it simple.
