The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 54 calories for USDA reference amount at 120 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 45 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 0.3 g protein, 1.8 g fiber, and 6 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is pears, canned, water pack, solids and liquids, representing 88% 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 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 11–110 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 2709258: “Pear, canned, juice pack.” 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 2709258, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 slice/chunk” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 slice/chunkUSDA-listed household measure | 25 g | 11 kcal | 0.1 g | 0.4 g | 1 mg |
| 1 snack size containerUSDA-listed household measure | 113 g | 51 kcal | 0.3 g | 1.7 g | 6 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 245 g | 110 kcal | 0.6 g | 3.7 g | 12 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Fruit
The comparison set contains 82 exact records in Feast’s broader Fruit category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2709258’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 2709258’s 120 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Dietary fiber; 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Pear, canned, juice pack,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709257 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 slice/chunk to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 25 g and 245 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 11 kcal to 110 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709257
At an equal 100 g, this record has 14 kcal less calories than “Pear, canned, in syrup.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Pears, canned, water pack, solids and liquids
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Pears, canned, water pack, solids and liquids supplies 88% 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 “canned; juice pack” fits. Inspect FDC 2709257 when “canned; in syrup” 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 “canned” and “juice pack”. 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.

| Pear, Asian, raw | 275 g116 kcal | 42 kcal | 0.5 g | 0.2 g | 3.6 g | 0 mg |
How to compare FDC 2709258: its source amount is 120 g; every 100-gram column removes portion size from the record-to-record comparison. Neither denominator determines your plate’s weight or recipe.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 14 less calories and 3.4 g less carbohydrate than “Pear, canned, in syrup.”
Only this record lists Apple juice, frozen concentrate, unsweetened, undiluted, without added ascorbic acid. Only the comparison record lists Sugars, granulated. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
2 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.
Shared listed inputs: Pears, canned, water pack, solids and liquids.
Listed only in this record: Apple juice, frozen concentrate, unsweetened, undiluted, without added ascorbic acid.
Listed only in the comparison: Sugars, granulated.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 120 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (245 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 125 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (250 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709258 with FDC 2709257 at equal mass; use their 120 g and 125 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709258 versus FDC 2709257 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 piece or portion size, variety and ripeness, fresh versus cooked form, added sweeteners.
For “Pear, canned, juice pack,” 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.
- 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.
- 02
variety and ripeness
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 03
fresh versus cooked form
Match the food state before matching the number. Cooking, draining, or added liquid can change grams and concentration even when the food name barely changes.
- 04
added 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 2709258 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 45 kcal per 100 g becomes 54 kcal at 120 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: 2709258
FNDDS food code: 63137170
The scaling for FDC 2709258 can be exact while the match to “Pear, canned, juice pack” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 120 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
