Animal protein such as red meat is high in uric acid.
sea foods, offal meats like kidney brains and other organs, red meats, followed by other meats, legumes. the foods are not actually high in uric acid they are high in purines which exist in the nucleus of living cells. these are metabolized into uric acid by the body prior to disposal through the kidney and large intestine.

Avoid or severely limit high-purine foods, such as organ meats, herring, anchovies and mackerel. Red meat (beef, pork and lamb), fatty fish and seafood (tuna, shrimp, lobster and scallops) are associated with increased risk of gout. Alcohol interferes with the elimination of uric acid from your body.

Seafoods have the most so definitely avoid that. Most fruits contain it also but they only have a small amount so that should be okay. Whole wheat has the less in the breads, so it would be best.

There are no foods that contain uric acid; however, all foods contain purines, which break down into uric acid. Foods with higher concentrations of purines and which you will want to avoid are many types of fish and other meats, including chicken, beef, pork, and turkey. Asparagus, cauliflower, beans, spinach, and mushrooms also contain high levels of purines.
