What This Food Tells Us
Honey is catalogued in the USDA FoodData Central database under FDC ID 169640 as a usda standard reference entry, belonging to the "Sweets" food group. Each 339g serving delivers 304 calories. This macronutrient profile shapes how the food contributes to daily energy needs and fits into different eating patterns.
Looking deeper at the nutrient density, this item provides 0.2g of dietary fiber (1% of the 28g daily reference) per 100g alongside 82.1g of total sugars and 4mg of sodium (0% of the 2,300mg daily limit). Understanding the energy split between protein, fat, and carbohydrates helps you decide whether this food aligns with low-carb, high-protein, or balanced-macro eating plans.
Based on the per-100g standardization (FDA convention), Honey qualifies as low sodium within common dietary frameworks. All figures originate from USDA laboratory analysis or manufacturer-submitted label data under the FDC USDA Standard Reference program. USDA stores values at a 100g standardization to enable apples-to-apples comparison; this page surfaces both the per-serving FDA-label values (matching the package) and the per-100g basis when they differ. Use the Similar Foods section below to see 6 nutritionally comparable items, or browse the full "Sweets" category for context. For a broader view, the nutrition guides linked below explain how to read daily values, compare foods fairly, and spot hidden sugars that routine label reading misses.
Allergen indicators
No FDA Big 9 major-allergen indicator was detected in the product name and brand text scan (milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, sesame). Absence-of-flag does NOT mean allergen-free. The USDA FoodData Central release does not always include a full ingredient list — always verify with the FDA-mandated ingredient and allergen statement printed on the physical package before consumption.
