Yeast (dried)
Yeast (dried) is higher risk. Keep portions small and occasional, especially during a flare. A typical 5 g serving has about 42 mg of purines, about 11% 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 yeast, an extremely concentrated form. Yeast is used as a supplement or flavoring in amounts of a few grams, so a normal use delivers only a small fraction of this per-100g figure.
Very concentrated: about 847 mg of purines per 100 g. A typical serving is small (about 5 g), so the per-serving figure looks low, but it is easy to overdo. We do not rate it as safe to eat freely.

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