Is pork high in purines?

In short: Smart Gout Care estimates ≈ 230 mg of purines in a typical 170 g serving of pork (≈ 140 mg per 100 g), with no added sugar. That is more purines per 100 g than 95% of the 2,045 dishes in the app, and the app rates a serving Higher load.

About pork

Lean cooked pork loin chop with fairly high purine.

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:

PortionWeightPurines
Small136 g≈ 180 mg
Medium (typical)170 g≈ 230 mg
Large221 g≈ 300 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 more than two thirds of a day's purine or 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 Pork Chop, 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.
