Cheese is not routinely restricted for gout
It is not a high-purine food and is not singled out in current UK gout guidance as something everyone must avoid.
Choose for the rest of your health
Salt, saturated fat, calories and portion size may be more relevant considerations depending on your wider health.
No need for a gout-specific ban
If cheese fits your diet and health needs, gout alone does not create a universal reason to remove it.
