The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 264 calories for 1 pig in blanket at 85 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 310 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 9.7 g protein, 0.6 g fiber, and 602 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is hot dog, nfs, representing 66.8% 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 source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 pig in blanket 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 62–264 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 2707045: “Pig in a blanket.” 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 2707045, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cocktail size pig in a blanket” through “1 pig in blanket” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 cocktail size pig in a blanketUSDA-listed household measure | 20 g | 62 kcal | 2.3 g | 0.1 g | 142 mg |
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 63.8 g | 198 kcal | 7.3 g | 0.4 g | 451 mg |
| 1 pig in blanketUSDA-listed household measure | 85 g | 264 kcal | 9.7 g | 0.6 g | 602 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707045’s 85 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. 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.

≈ 9% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Tradeoff-side signals

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Pig in a blanket,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the absence of a qualifying close alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 cocktail size pig in a blanket to 1 pig in blanket
USDA assigns those measures 20 g and 85 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 62 kcal to 264 kcal.
- 02
Record identity: FDC 2707045
No second entry passed the close-record rule for this page. Keep the exact USDA description “Pig in a blanket” attached to any value copied from this profile.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Hot dog, NFS
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Hot dog, NFS supplies 66.8% 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
Use this profile only when “Pig in a blanket” is the closest available description and the 85 g reference can be scaled to the amount you mean.

Inside the source record
Source formulation behind this USDA record
USDA links FDC 2707045 to 2 source inputs totaling 85.4 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Pig in a blanket” inspectable beside similarly named records.
How to read this
2 listed components
The largest listed inputs by source weight are Hot dog, NFS, Rolls, dinner, plain, commercially prepared (includes brown-and-serve). The order and weights below come from the standardized USDA formulation, so they offer context for this exact database entry.
85.4 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

USDA shorthand in this evidence
- NFS means “not further specified.” The record intentionally leaves the exact subtype, size, or preparation unresolved.
Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2707045, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Frankfurter sandwiches” 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 “Frankfurter sandwiches” entry shares enough description or exact source-input evidence with FDC 2707045 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 item size, bread or wrapper size, fillings, sauces and cheese.
For “Pig in a blanket,” resolve item size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
item 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
bread or wrapper size
Resolve bread or wrapper size only when the meal or its source gives you evidence. If it is unknown, leave the uncertainty visible instead of choosing the most convenient variant.
- 03
fillings
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
- 04
sauces and cheese
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 2707045 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 310 kcal per 100 g becomes 264 kcal at 85 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 pig in blanket 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: 2707045
FNDDS food code: 27560350
The scaling for FDC 2707045 can be exact while the match to “Pig in a blanket” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 85 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
