Dairy Foods High in Fat: Top 30 per 100 g & per Serving

Highest in fat per 100 g

30 of 40 ranked dairy foods, most fat first. % = share of the FDA Daily Value. n/r = not reported.

Most fat per typical serving

The same dairy foods ranked by what one typical USDA portion gives, which is what you eat.

Most fat per 200 kcal

Nutrient density: fat for the same 200 calories of each food.

Concentrated forms (not ranked)

Flours, powders, concentrates, sugars and fortified foods with fat, listed by value per 100 g but left out of the rankings above.

Which foods are ranked

• The 40 dairy foods on CalorieExplorer with a reported fat value. They are generic USDA FoodData Central rows (Foundation Foods and SR Legacy) with a plain name: no branded products, restaurant items, survey mixed dishes, baby foods or regional specialty rows.
• Only foods with more than 0 g are ranked (40 dairy foods); a food with no reported value is left out, never counted as 0.
• Flours, crude brans, powders and dehydrated foods, juice concentrates, mixes, sugars and fortified foods are not ranked: per 100 g they beat every food eaten as is. They are listed separately below.
• Ties share a rank: foods with the same value per 100 g get the same number, and the next number is skipped.
• Typical portion = USDA's own serving weight for that food (a medium fruit, 1 cup, 1 oz…), as on its food page. Per 200 kcal shows how much you get for the same calories; foods under 5 kcal per 100 g are not ranked that way (–).
• % DV = share of the FDA Daily Value for fat, 78 g a day for adults and children 4 and older.
• FDA lets a label call a food “high in” a nutrient when one reference serving gives 20% of the Daily Value or more, and a “good source” at 10–19% (21 CFR 101.54). We apply it to the typical USDA portion, which is not always the label's reference amount.
