Is Dark Chocolate OK for gout?
Dark Chocolate by Lindt Excellence lists 5 ingredients, with one gout concern: its total sugar is 16.7 g per 100 g — a heavy sugar load, which itself nudges uric acid up. Dark Chocolate isn’t off-limits for gout, but it’s a “keep the portion small” pick rather than an everyday one.

What we found on the label
- No HFCS, fructose, agave or honey on the label — none of the fructose sweeteners that push uric acid up.
- No yeast extract, meat/fish extract, or anchovy — the purine sources that hide in savory packaged foods.
- Fiber — 16.7 g per 100 g, which slows sugar absorption.
- Protein — 10.0 g per 100 g.
Worth knowing
- High total sugar — 16.7 g per 100 g; a heavy sugar load itself adds to uric acid, so keep the portion small.
