The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 114 calories for USDA reference amount at 260 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 44 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 2.2 g protein, 1.3 g fiber, and 351 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beverages, water, tap, drinking, representing 87.8% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 3 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 cup 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 13–114 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 2710504: “Corn beverage.” 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 2710504, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 fl oz” through “USDA reference amount” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 fl ozUSDA-listed household measure | 30 g | 13 kcal | 0.3 g | 0.2 g | 41 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 240 g | 106 kcal | 2 g | 1.2 g | 324 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 260 g | 114 kcal | 2.2 g | 1.3 g | 351 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Smoothies and grain drinks
The comparison set contains 22 exact records in the Smoothies and grain drinks USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2710504’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 2710504’s 260 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Corn beverage,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2710602 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 fl oz to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 30 g and 240 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 13 kcal to 106 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2710602
At an equal 100 g, this record has 131 mg more sodium than “Horchata, made with water.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Beverages, water, tap, drinking
The source formulation has 3 input rows; Beverages, water, tap, drinking supplies 87.8% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when the exact wording “Corn beverage” fits. Inspect FDC 2710602 when “made with water” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

What does this USDA record represent?
Begin with the exact USDA description, then compare preparation, additions, and gram weight. A nearby record is useful only when its identity is closer—not simply because its name sounds familiar.
On smaller screens, focus a nutrition table and scroll horizontally to read every column.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 44 less calories, 11 g less carbohydrate, and 131 mg more sodium than “Horchata, made with water.”
Only this record lists Cornmeal, degermed, enriched, yellow; Salt, table. Only the comparison record lists Rice, white, long-grain, regular, raw, enriched; Spices, cinnamon, ground; Sugars, granulated. 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.
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.
Shared listed inputs: Beverages, water, tap, drinking.
Listed only in this record: Cornmeal, degermed, enriched, yellow; Salt, table.
Listed only in the comparison: Rice, white, long-grain, regular, raw, enriched; Spices, cinnamon, ground; Sugars, granulated.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 260 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (240 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 248 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (248 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2710504 with FDC 2710602 at equal mass; use their 260 g and 248 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2710504 versus FDC 2710602 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 drink size, recipe or formulation, milk or cream, sweeteners and add-ins.
For “Corn beverage,” resolve drink size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
drink size
Resolve drink size only when the meal or its source gives you evidence. If it is unknown, leave the uncertainty visible instead of choosing the most convenient variant.
- 02
recipe or formulation
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 03
milk or cream
Identify the liquid base and fat level when you can. Dairy, plant-based beverages, cream, and water are different record choices—not interchangeable volume adjustments.
- 04
sweeteners and add-ins
Use a label or known recipe when available, because sweetness does not reveal dose. Keep syrups, sugars, and concentrated add-ins separate when the base record does not name them.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2710504 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 44 kcal per 100 g becomes 114 kcal at 260 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: 2710504
FNDDS food code: 92306100
The scaling for FDC 2710504 can be exact while the match to “Corn beverage” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 260 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
