Data Sources & Methodology
Data from USDA FoodData Central, April 2026 release. See our methodology.
Source: USDA FoodData Central (FDC ID 1462795) — Branded Food database. Verify with USDA →
Source: FDA 2,000-calorie Daily Value reference — %DV computed against the USDA per-100g standardization basis.
How serving-size math works on this page: USDA stores all nutrient amounts on a per-100g basis for consistency across the catalog. Because the manufacturer declared a 159g serving for this product, the headline values (calories, macros) are multiplied by 159/100 = 1.590 to render the same values you would read on the FDA Nutrition Facts panel. The page surfaces both bases for full transparency.
