The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 91 calories for USDA reference amount at 42 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 216 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 3.6 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 454 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is ham salad spread, 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 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 91–546 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 2706222: “Ham salad spread.” 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 2706222, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “USDA reference amount” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706222’s 42 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
Sodium454 mg
≈ 20% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat2.1 g
≈ 11% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Ham salad spread,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706221 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 can (7.5 oz) to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 213 g and 253 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 460 kcal to 546 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706221
At an equal 100 g, this record has 427 mg more sodium than “Chicken salad spread.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Ham salad spread
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 the exact wording “Ham salad spread” fits. Inspect FDC 2706221 when the exact wording “Chicken salad spread” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Only this record lists Ham salad spread. Only the comparison record lists Poultry salad sandwich spread. 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: Ham salad spread.
Listed only in the comparison: Poultry salad sandwich spread.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 42 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (253 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 42 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (208 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706222 with FDC 2706221 at equal mass; use their 42 g and 42 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706222 versus FDC 2706221 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, cut and fat trim, cooking method, breading, marinade, or sauce.
For “Ham salad spread,” 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
cut and fat trim
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
cooking method
Match the method named by the source—such as baked, fried, boiled, or grilled—before scaling. Preparation can change both water content and the ingredients retained in the finished food.
- 04
breading, marinade, or sauce
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2706222 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 216 kcal per 100 g becomes 91 kcal at 42 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: 2706222
FNDDS food code: 25240220
The scaling for FDC 2706222 can be exact while the match to “Ham salad spread” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 42 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
