Chips and gout: which to pick, which to skip

By Patricia Lu & Allan Lu, creators of SuitBite · Updated 2026-09-06

Savory chips are a classic hiding spot for yeast extract — so we read each label. We read the full ingredient list of 6 chips & crisps and scored each for gout specifically: 2 rate as a pick, 4 to limit or skip, and 2 carry a hidden trigger (HFCS, fructose or yeast extract) we flag by position.
