Is bacon high in purines?
In short: Smart Gout Care estimates ≈ 55 mg of purines in a typical 50 g serving of bacon (≈ 110 mg per 100 g), with ≈ 0.5 g of added sugar. That is more purines per 100 g than 85% of the 2,045 dishes in the app, and the app rates a serving Lower load.
| Typical serving | 50 g |
|---|---|
| Purines per serving | ≈ 55 mg |
| Purines per 100 g | ≈ 110 mg |
| Added sugar per serving | ≈ 0.5 g |
| Load badge in the app | Lower load |
About bacon
Cured, cooked pork belly with moderately high purines.
What about smaller or larger portions?
In the app you can set the portion to small, medium or large. The purine estimate scales with the weight:
| Portion | Weight | Purines |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 40 g | ≈ 45 mg |
| Medium (typical) | 50 g | ≈ 55 mg |
| Large | 65 g | ≈ 70 mg |
What does the load badge mean?
The badge compares one typical portion with the daily reference amounts set in the app. A portion is estimated to use less than a third of a day's purine and added-sugar reference. It is a rough guide to the size of a portion's share, not a rule about what to eat.
Where do these numbers come from?
These are Smart Gout Care's own estimates for a typical serving of Bacon, the same figures the app shows for this dish. They are rounded on purpose: published laboratory tables often disagree for the same food, sometimes by two times or more, depending on the sample, the species and the method. For measured values and their sources, see Purines in Meat and Offal: Chicken, Red Meat, Liver, Ham.
