What is included?

The exact descriptions define the topic.

USDA places these records in the “Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches” survey-food category. Within Feast’s broader navigation, they appear under Sandwiches, burgers & wraps (19 records). The category label is useful for discovery, but it does not mean every record uses the same recipe, brand, cooking method, or portion.

The current collection includes Peanut butter and jelly sandwich, with reduced fat peanut butter, on wheat bread; Peanut butter and jelly sandwich, with regular peanut butter, regular jelly, on wheat bread; Peanut butter sandwich, with regular peanut butter, on white bread; Peanut butter sandwich, with reduced fat peanut butter, on white bread; Nutella sandwich on wheat bread; Almond butter and jelly sandwich, on wheat bread. Those examples show why the exact wording matters. The complete alphabetical catalog farther down the page preserves all 19 descriptions instead of replacing them with one generic average.

A distribution view of the source set

Median and central nutrient ranges per 100 grams

The central range runs from the 10th to the 90th percentile of the 19 records on this page. It shows the middle of this finite source set without treating its endpoints as typical. Because this topic contains fewer than 20 records, treat the percentile positions as a compact map of the listed entries—not as a stable population estimate.

Preparation language in the records

Source descriptions reveal meaningful distinctions.

The counts below report words and phrases that appear explicitly in the 19 USDA descriptions. They can help narrow a search to a closer record. They do not prove that the named preparation caused a nutrient difference, because these survey-food records are not controlled experiments.

frozen

1 record uses this wording, including Peanut butter and jelly sandwich, frozen commercial product without crusts.

Portion context

Household measures answer a different question than 100 grams.

19 of 19 records (100%) include at least one named measure in the source data. Together those records provide 38 usable named measures.

A cup, slice, piece, sandwich, fillet, or fluid ounce can represent a different amount of food. Even two measures with the same label may have different gram weights across records. Open the closest profile and use its listed weight instead of transferring a measure from another record.

USDA’s representative source amount is also not necessarily what a visitor ate. For equal-weight comparison, use the 100-gram table. For meal estimation, match the exact description first, then match the amount, and finally account for additions or preparation details absent from the selected record.

Common named measures in this topic

Choosing a closer record

Use a sequence, not a guess disguised as precision.

  1. 01

    Match the exact description

    Look for the closest food name, preparation, additions, and context. “Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches” is the collection label; the individual description is the actual reference.

  2. 02

    Compare on equal weight

    Use the per-100-gram values when comparing two records. This keeps the denominator fixed and prevents different source-serving weights from masquerading as a food difference.

  3. 03

    Scale the closest listed measure

    Open the profile, select a named household measure when one fits, or enter a gram estimate. Treat scaled decimals as arithmetic from the source—not greater certainty about the plate.

  4. 04

    Add missing context

    Brand, recipe, cooking fat, sauce, toppings, substitutions, and edible portion can move the result. A current package label or weighed recipe may be more specific than a generic survey-food record.

Controlled contrasts

Related records worth comparing directly

These pairs passed Feast’s similarity, material-difference, and diversity screens. Each page keeps weight fixed at 100 grams, shows both exact source descriptions and formulations, and avoids treating the records as a controlled experiment.

Boundaries and provenance

What this collection can—and cannot—tell you.

This page summarizes USDA FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS) records from 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024. FNDDS supplies the nutrient profiles used for foods reported in What We Eat in America, the dietary component of NHANES. Each value here remains tied to one exact FDC record; the complete catalog provides direct links so the source can be checked rather than taken on trust.

USDA describes FNDDS nutrient profiles as average values for generic representations of foods likely consumed in the United States—not profiles of specific products. Its gram weights for portions are likewise estimates for groups of foods and may not cover every available size. That distinction matters: a database measure is evidence for scaling a plausible match, not proof that the same weight or formulation was on a visitor’s plate.

The records are not laboratory measurements of every possible “Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches” preparation. Restaurant recipes change, packaged products are reformulated, homemade ingredient ratios vary, and cooking can change water weight. A photo also cannot reliably reveal every hidden ingredient or gram weight. The central range describes variation among the records selected for this topic, not uncertainty around a single meal.

The median is not a default calorie count. The 10th and 90th percentiles are not lower and upper recommendations. The minimum and maximum are not promises that every real version falls inside the observed span. These statistics are tools for navigating a source collection while keeping the denominator, record name, and normal recipe variation visible.

Nutrient values do not establish whether a food is appropriate for a particular person or condition. This wiki does not diagnose deficiencies, prescribe targets, or replace advice from a qualified professional. If accuracy matters for an allergy, medical diet, or clinician-directed limit, use verified ingredient information and the guidance relevant to that situation.

Why no overall ranking appears.

A record can report more protein and also differ in sodium, fiber, energy, fat, portion weight, or ingredients. Choosing one metric as a universal score would hide those tradeoffs and imply a value judgment the data cannot support. The alphabetical catalog and side-by-side statistics are intentionally descriptive.

For primary-source context, read USDA’s FNDDS 2021–2023 documentation. For Feast’s import, filtering, portion-scaling, Daily Value, and uncertainty rules, read the nutrition-page methodology. For an exact item, use its profile and FoodData Central link rather than citing this collection-level summary alone.

Common questions

Using the “Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches” collection responsibly

Is the median the expected nutrition for my food?

No. It is the middle value among these 19 source records on a 100-gram basis. Your recipe, brand, preparation, and portion may align more closely with one specific record or may fall outside this collection.

Why compare 100 grams instead of one serving?

Source servings can have different gram weights and measure labels. Holding weight at 100 grams makes concentration comparable. After choosing a record, its household measures are more useful for estimating the amount actually eaten.

Does the upper end of a nutrient range mean “better”?

No. The position only describes that nutrient within this source collection. It does not evaluate the whole food, determine an appropriate portion, or account for an individual’s needs.

Which number should I log?

Start with the record whose exact wording most closely matches the food. Use a listed measure or gram estimate, then add missing recipe or preparation context. Keep the result as an estimate unless you have a current label or weighed recipe.

Decision support from the exact records on this page

Turn source data into a better next decision

These conclusions and reading paths are computed from 13 exact records behind Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches source topic. Links are chosen by record identity, controlled contrast, formulation input, nutrient spread, or serving context—not by loose keyword similarity.

Equal-weight result

Jelly sandwich, on wheat bread is higher in total sugars per 100 g

Jelly sandwich, on wheat bread reports 23.6 g versus 6.6 g for Peanut butter sandwich, with reduced fat peanut butter, on wheat bread: a 17 g difference when both are normalized to 100 g.

Inspect the underlying evidence

The denominator changes the answer

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich, frozen commercial product without crusts is denser; Peanut butter and jelly sandwich, with regular peanut butter, regular jelly, on wheat bread is higher in its source amount

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich, frozen commercial product without crusts reports 15 g per 100 g and 9 g in USDA source amount (60 g). Peanut butter and jelly sandwich, with regular peanut butter, regular jelly, on wheat bread reports a lower 14.9 g per 100 g but a higher 16.7 g in USDA source amount (112 g).

Choose the record before reading the number

Almond butter and jelly sandwich, on wheat bread and Almond butter and jelly sandwich, on white bread are not interchangeable

The page keeps both records at the same 100 g denominator and makes the exact source description the explicit record-description contrast. It does not show that the wording difference caused a nutrient difference. Pick the description that matches the food in front of you rather than averaging away the distinction.
