How this ranking is made
3,702 products in the aisle declare calories; 2,608 are ranked, leaving out 355 mixes, powders or concentrates; 1 named by the publisher's review (below); 7 records whose label contradicts itself or that sit outside the aisle's range; 731 that do not declare all seven core label values (each rule). Values are per 100 g as each manufacturer submitted them to USDA, one product per UPC (its newest submission that meets the data contract), and one per product sold under several UPCs with the same label. The top 100 are shown; each was read again from USDA's live record at this release, and USDA's corrections are applied.
Left out after review:
- Spirella Minis Sliced Mozzarella Hand Rolled with Proscuittomozzarella rolled in prosciutto at 38.9 g protein per 100 g, above both of its ingredients
