The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 54 calories for USDA reference amount at 12 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 453 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 1.3 g protein, 1.2 g fiber, and 53 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is crackers, gluten-free, multi-seeded and multigrain, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 medium stick answer different portion questions. Their values are scaled independently from the same per-100-gram source record.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 9–208 calories across the listed portions. That is a set of scaled examples—not a confidence interval, a recommendation, or a claim about the full universe of recipes.
Calculated from the smallest and largest usable household measures listed by USDA for this exact FNDDS record; not a confidence interval.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2707799: “Breadsticks, hard, gluten free.” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.
01 · Portion arithmetic
Three weights, one fixed composition
For FDC 2707799, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 snack size stick” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 snack size stickUSDA-listed household measure | 2 g | 9 kcal | 0.2 g | 0.2 g | 9 mg |
| 1 medium stickUSDA-listed household measure | 10 g | 45 kcal | 1.1 g | 1 g | 44 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 46 g | 208 kcal | 5.2 g | 4.7 g | 201 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Crackers, excludes saltines
The comparison set contains 36 exact records in the Crackers, excludes saltines USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2707799’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707799’s 12 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Sodium. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.
Strength-side signals
No compatible strength-side nutrient evaluated here reaches 5% DV at this reference weight, so this page does not manufacture a “strength” from a negligible percentage.
Tradeoff-side signals
Sodium53 mg
≈ 2% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat0.2 g
≈ 1% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Breadsticks, hard, gluten free,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707691 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 snack size stick to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 2 g and 46 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 9 kcal to 208 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707691
At an equal 100 g, this record has 434 mg more sodium than “Breadsticks, hard, reduced sodium.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Crackers, gluten-free, multi-seeded and multigrain
USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “hard; gluten free” fits. Inspect FDC 2707691 when “hard; reduced sodium” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Which USDA record fits your meal?
Treat the long description as data. The phrases doing the most work here are “hard” and “gluten free”. Match those details first; then compare the database weight with the amount you mean.
On smaller screens, focus a nutrition table and scroll horizontally to read every column.
| Exact record | Source serving | Calories / 100 g | Protein / 100 g | Fat / 100 g | Fiber / 100 g | Sodium / 100 g |

| Breadsticks, hard, whole wheat | 12 g51 kcal | 425 kcal | 15.1 g | 11 g | 7.1 g | 577 mg |
How to compare FDC 2707799: its source amount is 12 g; every 100-gram column removes portion size from the record-to-record comparison. Neither denominator determines your plate’s weight or recipe.

Inside the source record
Source formulation behind this USDA record
USDA links FDC 2707799 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Breadsticks, hard, gluten free” inspectable beside similarly named records.
How to read this
A single-source formulation
Crackers, gluten-free, multi-seeded and multigrain is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 4.9 g more total fat, 7.7 g more dietary fiber, and 434 mg more sodium than “Breadsticks, hard, reduced sodium.”
Only this record lists Crackers, gluten-free, multi-seeded and multigrain. Only the comparison record lists Flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached; Flour, bread, white, enriched, unbleached; Vegetable oil, NFS; Syrups, corn, light. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
3 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.

Uncertainty, made actionable
What can change this estimate?
This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with piece or portion size, recipe or brand, fillings or frosting, added fats and sugars.
For “Breadsticks, hard, gluten free,” resolve piece or portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
piece or portion size
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
- 02
recipe or brand
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 03
fillings or frosting
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
- 04
added fats and sugars
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2707799 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 453 kcal per 100 g becomes 54 kcal at 12 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.
About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” We display it as a USDA reference amount because it is a database comparison point—not a suggested portion or a claim about what most people should eat.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2707799
FNDDS food code: 51808050
The scaling for FDC 2707799 can be exact while the match to “Breadsticks, hard, gluten free” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 12 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
