2,600 kJ On A Food Label

Seeing 2,600 kJ per serve on a pack means very different things depending on how big the serve is. The table shows what the same 2,600 kJ implies per 100 g, which is the fairest way to compare products.

Serving size	kJ per 100 g	kcal per 100 g	Energy density
100 g serve	2,600 kJ	621 kcal	high
150 g serve	1,733 kJ	414 kcal	high
250 g serve	1,040 kJ	249 kcal	medium

Energy per 100 g if one serve of that size contains 2,600 kJ. Smaller serves are left out because no food is that energy-dense.

For example, if a 100 g serve contains 2,600 kJ, the food has about 2,600 kJ per 100 g, a high-density food, similar to biscuits, chips, chocolate, nuts and oils. Try your own label in the food label calculator.
