Method and Limitations
What the Database Shows
Measured food values are shown in milligrams per 100 grams. Measured alcoholic beverages use milligrams per 100 milliliters. This site groups measured totals as lower under 100 mg, moderate from 100 to 200 mg, and higher above 200 mg.
The USDA purine release contains 462 food entries and 15 alcoholic beverage entries. Measurements can differ by species, preparation, water content, country, and laboratory method. Alcohol may raise urate through mechanisms that are separate from its purine content.
The 30,000 branded product records come from USDA FoodData Central. That source identifies products, brands, and food categories but does not provide purine measurements for those products. They remain labelled “Purine not measured.”
