Every serving below is a USDA household measure for this food, a fraction of one, or a unit conversion. Amounts are USDA values scaled by weight; only the Nutrition Facts panel applies the coarser FDA label rounding.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 cubic inch | 17 g | 60 | 0.4 g | 3.6 g | 4.9 g | 0 g | 0.1 g |

Blue cheese (1 oz, 28.4 g) has 100 calories. 100 g has 353 calories. On a Nutrition Facts label, calories are rounded to the nearest 5 or 10, so the panel above may show 100.
One ounce of blue cheese (28.35 g) has about 100 calories in this USDA record, a 1-inch cube (17 g) about 60, and a loosely filled cup of crumbles (135 g) about 477. Per 100 g it lists 353 calories.
Blue cheese (1 oz, 28.4 g) has 5.3 g of saturated fat, 26% of the Daily Value. 100 g has 18.7 g. That is 20% DV or more per serving, which the FDA treats as high.
Blue cheese (1 oz, 28.4 g) has 0.35 mcg of vitamin B12, 15% of the Daily Value. 100 g has 1.22 mcg. At 10 to 19% DV per serving, that meets the FDA threshold for a "good source" claim.

The same serving of blue cheese, drawn by the label formats other markets require: the Canadian bilingual Nutrition Facts table, the EU nutrition declaration (per 100 g, energy in kJ and kcal, salt instead of sodium) and the UK nutrition information table with reference intakes. The generator switches between these and many more from one recipe.

If you make and sell a product that contains blue cheese, these free tools cover the next steps.
Nutrient values are from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy (April 2018 release, public domain), record 172175: "Cheese, blue". Values are stored per 100 g exactly as USDA reports them and scaled to each serving by weight. The Nutrition Facts panel applies the FDA rounding rules in 21 CFR 101.9; tables and text show the scaled amounts at reading precision, so a figure can differ slightly from the panel. A nutrient USDA does not report for this food is shown as not reported, never as a guessed value.
SR Legacy predates the added sugars field. This is a whole or unsweetened food, so added sugars are shown as 0 g. View the USDA record ↗
