Cream, half and half, flavored calories: 39 per 1 fl oz (30 g)
This exact USDA record reports 39 calories for 1 fl oz (30 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 39 calories for 1 fl oz at 30 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 130 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 0.9 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 18 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is cream, fluid, half and half, representing 98% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 source-input rows in all. 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 fl oz at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 20–312 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 2705595: “Cream, half and half, flavored.” 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 2705595, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 individual container (.5 fl oz)” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 individual container (.5 fl oz)USDA-listed household measure | 15 g | 20 kcal | 0.5 g | 0 g | 9 mg |
| 1 fl ozUSDA-listed household measure | 30 g | 39 kcal | 0.9 g | 0 g | 18 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 240 g | 312 kcal | 7.4 g | 0 g | 144 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Cream and cream substitutes
The comparison set contains 10 exact records in the Cream and cream substitutes USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2705595’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 2705595’s 30 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. 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
Saturated fat2.1 g
≈ 10% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium18 mg
≈ 1% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Cream, half and half, flavored,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2705594 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 individual container (.5 fl oz) to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 15 g and 240 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 20 kcal to 312 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2705594
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.2 g more carbohydrate than “Cream, half and half.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Cream, fluid, half and half
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Cream, fluid, half and half supplies 98% 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 “half and half; flavored” fits. Inspect FDC 2705594 when “half and half” 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 “half and half” and “flavored”. 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 |

Plain-English read
The six displayed nutrient values are close under a conservative materiality screen. Small differences remain exact source values, not evidence that one food is preferable.
Only this record lists Vanilla extract, imitation, no alcohol. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
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: Cream, fluid, half and half.
Listed only in this record: Vanilla extract, imitation, no alcohol.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 30 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 fl oz (30 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 20 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (240 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2705595 with FDC 2705594 at equal mass; use their 30 g and 20 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2705595 versus FDC 2705594 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 portion size, fat level, brand or formulation, added flavors or sweeteners.
For “Cream, half and half, flavored,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
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
fat level
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
- 03
brand 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.
- 04
added flavors or sweeteners
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 2705595 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 130 kcal per 100 g becomes 39 kcal at 30 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 fl oz 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: 2705595
FNDDS food code: 12120106
The scaling for FDC 2705595 can be exact while the match to “Cream, half and half, flavored” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 30 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
