All meat products have purine. Relative to the recommended limits for purine level in diet, purine in meat cuts ranges from low to moderate level. The exception is liver, regardless of the animal source, which has the highest purine content of all meat parts and organs.

Below are the major meat types (beef, chicken, mutton and port), meat cuts and organs and their purine content. The uric acid estimate is the corresponding level in blood when the purine converts.
