The editorial read

The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity

Portion: the cited record reports about 75 calories for 1 cup at 15 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 499 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 1.2 g protein, 0.6 g fiber, and 143 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is snacks, corn-based, extruded, onion-flavor, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. 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 cup 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 10–424 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 2708245: “Onion flavored rings.” 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 2708245, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 piece” through “1 large single serving bag” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2708245’s 15 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

Sodium143 mg

≈ 6% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Saturated fat0.7 g

≈ 3% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Onion flavored rings,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the absence of a qualifying close alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 piece to 1 large single serving bag

    USDA assigns those measures 2 g and 85 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 10 kcal to 424 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record identity: FDC 2708245

    No second entry passed the close-record rule for this page. Keep the exact USDA description “Onion flavored rings” attached to any value copied from this profile.

  3. 03

    Single listed source: Snacks, corn-based, extruded, onion-flavor

    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

Use this profile only when “Onion flavored rings” is the closest available description and the 15 g reference can be scaled to the amount you mean.

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.

How to compare FDC 2708245: its source amount is 15 g; every 100-gram column removes portion size from the record-to-record comparison. Neither denominator determines your plate’s weight or recipe.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2708245 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Onion flavored rings” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

A single-source formulation

Snacks, corn-based, extruded, onion-flavor is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.

100 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

USDA source inputs listed for this exact survey-food record
#USDA inputListed amountInput weightShare of listed input weight
1 Snacks, corn-based, extruded, onion-flavorUSDA ingredient 19007 100 GM 100 g 100%

Use this formulation to choose a closer record—not to reverse-engineer a recipe. If your meal adds, removes, or substantially changes one of these components, another source entry or a photo-based estimate may fit better.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2708245, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Tortilla, corn, other chips” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.

No forced match

This record does not have a sufficiently close direct comparator in the published corpus.

No other published “Tortilla, corn, other chips” entry shares enough description or exact source-input evidence with FDC 2708245 to clear Feast’s close-record rule. A broad category neighbor would look relevant without establishing a defensible pair.

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 piece or portion size, recipe or brand, fillings or frosting, added fats and sugars.

For “Onion flavored rings,” resolve piece or portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 01

    piece or 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 03

    fillings or frosting

    Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.

  4. 04

    added fats and sugars

    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 2708245 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 499 kcal per 100 g becomes 75 kcal at 15 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 cup 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: 2708245

FNDDS food code: 54406010

The scaling for FDC 2708245 can be exact while the match to “Onion flavored rings” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 15 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
