The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 104 calories for USDA reference amount at 30 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 348 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, 0.2 g fiber, and 555 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is soy sauce made from soy and wheat (shoyu), representing 33.6% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 7 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 tablespoon 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 52–856 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 2710228: “Korean dressing or marinade.” 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 2710228, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 tablespoon” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 tablespoonUSDA-listed household measure | 15 g | 52 kcal | 0.5 g | 0.1 g | 278 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 30 g | 104 kcal | 1 g | 0.2 g | 555 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 246 g | 856 kcal | 7.8 g | 1.2 g | 4,551 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Salad dressings and vegetable oils
The comparison set contains 47 exact records in the Salad dressings and vegetable oils USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2710228’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 2710228’s 30 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
Sodium555 mg
≈ 24% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat1.3 g
≈ 6% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Korean dressing or marinade,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2710199 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 tablespoon to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 15 g and 246 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 52 kcal to 856 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2710199
At an equal 100 g, this record has 9.4 g more carbohydrate than “Caesar dressing.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Soy sauce made from soy and wheat (shoyu)
The source formulation has 7 input rows; Soy sauce made from soy and wheat (shoyu) supplies 33.6% 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 “Korean dressing or marinade” fits. Inspect FDC 2710199 when the exact wording “Caesar dressing” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 194 less calories, 1 g more protein, and 9.4 g more carbohydrate than “Caesar dressing.”
Only this record lists Vinegar, cider; Spices, garlic powder; Soy sauce made from soy and wheat (shoyu); Spices, mustard seed, ground. Only the comparison record lists Salad dressing, caesar dressing, regular. 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: Vinegar, cider; Spices, garlic powder; Soy sauce made from soy and wheat (shoyu); Spices, mustard seed, ground; and 3 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Salad dressing, caesar dressing, regular.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 30 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 tablespoon (15 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 29 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 tablespoon (15 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2710228 with FDC 2710199 at equal mass; use their 30 g and 29 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2710228 versus FDC 2710199 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 amount used, recipe or brand, concentration, oil, sugar, and salt formulation.
For “Korean dressing or marinade,” resolve amount used first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
amount used
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
concentration
Estimate what was actually consumed, including liquid left behind. The same bowl volume can contain a different mass and solid-to-liquid balance.
- 04
oil, sugar, and salt formulation
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 2710228 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 348 kcal per 100 g becomes 104 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.” 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: 2710228
FNDDS food code: 83208500
The scaling for FDC 2710228 can be exact while the match to “Korean dressing or marinade” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 30 g weight, 7-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
