The editorial read
Portion: the cited record reports about 200 calories for USDA reference amount at 60 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 333 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 9.5 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 504 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is pork sausage, link/patty, cooked, pan-fried, representing 50% 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 piece 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 33–460 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
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2706194: “Pork and beef sausage.” 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
For FDC 2706194, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cocktail or miniature link” through “1 cup, NFS” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 cocktail or miniature linkUSDA-listed household measure | 10 g | 33 kcal | 1.6 g | 0 g | 84 mg |
| 1 bun-size or griller linkUSDA-listed household measure | 75 g | 250 kcal | 11.9 g | 0 g | 630 mg |
| 1 cup, NFSUSDA-listed household measure | 138 g | 460 kcal | 21.9 g | 0 g | 1,159 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
The comparison set contains 13 exact records in the Sausages USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2706194’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
At FDC 2706194’s 60 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin C; 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.
Vitamin C6 mg
≈ 6% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat6.1 g
≈ 30% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium504 mg
≈ 22% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
For “Pork and beef sausage,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706171 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
USDA assigns those measures 10 g and 138 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 33 kcal to 460 kcal.
At an equal 100 g, this record has 2.6 g more protein than “Beef sausage.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Pork sausage, link/patty, cooked, pan-fried supplies 50% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 2.6 g more protein than “Beef sausage.”
Only this record lists Pork sausage, link/patty, cooked, pan-fried. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
1 of the six displayed differences clears the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.
Formulation evidence
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: Sausage, breakfast sausage, beef, pre-cooked, unprepared.
Listed only in this record: Pork sausage, link/patty, cooked, pan-fried.
Portion evidence
This record’s reference amount is 60 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 piece (75 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 60 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 piece (75 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706194 with FDC 2706171 at equal mass; use their 60 g and 60 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706194 versus FDC 2706171 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
This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with portion size, cut and fat trim, cooking method, breading, marinade, or sauce.
For “Pork and beef sausage,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
Match the method named by the source—such as baked, fried, boiled, or grilled—before scaling. Preparation can change both water content and the ingredients retained in the finished food.
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
FDC 2706194 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 333 kcal per 100 g becomes 200 kcal at 60 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: 2706194
FNDDS food code: 25221460
The scaling for FDC 2706194 can be exact while the match to “Pork and beef sausage” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 60 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
