Salsa: most protein
2,722 products ranked
Of the 2,837 products in the salsa aisle of USDA's branded food database, Edamame Salsa by Papa John's Salads & Produce has the most protein: 7.3 g per 100 g (8.0 g per 110 g serving); the aisle's median is 0 g. 0% of those with a declared serving (2) declare 10 g or more per labeled serving, FDA's "high in protein" line before its protein-quality correction (21 CFR 101.54(b), 101.9(c)(7)). Nine in ten salsa products have almost none (under 1 g per 100 g), so this list ranks exceptions, not the aisle.

How this ranking is made
