Is salmon high in purines?

In short: Smart Gout Care estimates ≈ 260 mg of purines in a typical 150 g serving of salmon (≈ 170 mg per 100 g), with no added sugar. That is more purines per 100 g than 98% of the 2,045 dishes in the app, and the app rates a serving Higher load.

About salmon

Plain grilled salmon fillet is fairly high in purine and has no added sugar.

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
Small120 g≈ 200 mg
Medium (typical)150 g≈ 260 mg
Large195 g≈ 330 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 Grilled Salmon, 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 Fish and Seafood: Lower and Higher Choices.
