The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 117 calories for 1 bar at 28 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 417 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 1 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 98 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is snacks, kellogg, kellogg's rice krispies treats squares, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 bar at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2708113: “Cereal or granola bar, with rice cereal.” 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 2708113, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “125% of the reference weight” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 21 g | 88 kcal | 0.7 g | 0 g | 74 mg |
| 1 barUSDA-listed household measure | 28 g | 117 kcal | 1 g | 0 g | 98 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 35 g | 146 kcal | 1.2 g | 0 g | 123 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

The comparison set contains 28 exact records in the Cereal bars USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2708113’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 2708113’s 28 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin A; 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
Vitamin A75.6 µg
≈ 8% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Tradeoff-side signals

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Cereal or granola bar, with rice cereal,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708103 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 28 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 21–35 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 88 kcal and 146 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708103
At an equal 100 g, this record has 7.4 g less dietary fiber than “Cereal or granola bar, nonfat.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Snacks, KELLOGG, KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES TREATS Squares
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 “with rice cereal” fits. Inspect FDC 2708103 when “nonfat” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Only this record lists Snacks, KELLOGG, KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES TREATS Squares. Only the comparison record lists Snacks, granola bar, fruit-filled, nonfat. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
5 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.
Formulation evidence
The listed formulations differ
The formulation rows differ, but the source data do not isolate which component caused any nutrient difference. Input weights describe the standardized formulation—not final plated proportions.
Listed only in this record: Snacks, KELLOGG, KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES TREATS Squares.
Listed only in the comparison: Snacks, granola bar, fruit-filled, nonfat.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 28 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 bar (28 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 43 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 bar (43 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708113 with FDC 2708103 at equal mass; use their 28 g and 43 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708113 versus FDC 2708103 is a comparison of standardized source records—not a measurement of your meal, an overall food-quality rank, or proof that one input caused a difference.

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 “Cereal or granola bar, with rice cereal,” 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 2708113 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 417 kcal per 100 g becomes 117 kcal at 28 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.” The separately listed 1 bar has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2708113
FNDDS food code: 53714400
The scaling for FDC 2708113 can be exact while the match to “Cereal or granola bar, with rice cereal” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 28 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
