Is Instant oatmeal OK for gout?
Across Instant oatmeal by Quaker’s 12 ingredients, the gout catch is a heavy sugar load — 30.2 g per 100 g, which itself nudges uric acid up. One to enjoy in moderation, not by the handful — 57/100.

What we found on the label
- No high-fructose syrup, agave or honey is listed; compare total sugar per serving.
- No yeast extract, meat/fish extract, or anchovy — the purine sources that hide in savory packaged foods.
- Fiber — 7.0 g per 100 g, which slows sugar absorption.
- Protein — 9.3 g per 100 g.
Worth knowing
- High total sugar — 30.2 g per 100 g; a heavy sugar load itself adds to uric acid, so keep the portion small.
