2,896 kJ On A Food Label

A label line that reads “2,896 kJ per serve” only tells half the story. Divide by the serve size and you get the energy density, how much energy is packed into every 100 g of the food.

Serving size	kJ per 100 g	kcal per 100 g	Energy density
100 g serve	2,896 kJ	692 kcal	high
150 g serve	1,931 kJ	461 kcal	high
250 g serve	1,158 kJ	277 kcal	medium

kJ per 100 g = 2,896 ÷ serve weight × 100. Rows above 3,700 kJ per 100 g (pure fat) are not possible and are not shown.

Take a 100 g serve: 2,896 kJ ÷ 100 × 100 = 2,896 kJ per 100 g, which puts it in the high-density group alongside biscuits, chips, chocolate, nuts and oils. Scale any pack to your portion with the food label calculator.
