The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 25 calories for USDA reference amount at 10 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 250 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 0.1 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 65 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is salad dressing, mayonnaise type, regular, with salt, 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 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 25–588 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 2710207: “Mayonnaise-type salad dressing.” 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 2710207, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 packet” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 packetUSDA-listed household measure | 12 g | 30 kcal | 0.1 g | 0 g | 78 mg |
| 1 tablespoonUSDA-listed household measure | 14.7 g | 37 kcal | 0.1 g | 0 g | 96 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 235 g | 588 kcal | 1.5 g | 0 g | 1,535 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Mayonnaise
The comparison set contains 8 exact records in the Mayonnaise USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2710207’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 2710207’s 10 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
Sodium65 mg
≈ 3% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat0.3 g
≈ 2% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Mayonnaise-type salad dressing,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2710222 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 packet to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 12 g and 235 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 30 kcal to 588 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2710222
At an equal 100 g, this record has 11.6 g more total fat than “Mayonnaise-type salad dressing, light.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Salad dressing, mayonnaise type, regular, with salt
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 “Mayonnaise-type salad dressing” fits. Inspect FDC 2710222 when “light” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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 “Mayonnaise-type salad dressing,” 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 2710207 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 250 kcal per 100 g becomes 25 kcal at 10 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: 2710207
FNDDS food code: 83110000
The scaling for FDC 2710207 can be exact while the match to “Mayonnaise-type salad dressing” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 10 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
