Gout & packaged snacks: which to pick, which to skip

The gout triggers in packaged food aren't steak and beer — you already avoid those. They're hidden in the ingredient list: high-fructose corn syrup, fructose, yeast extract. We read the full label of 20 snacks and flagged exactly where each trigger sits. 6 are gout-friendly; 14 carry a trigger.
