Mandarin oranges, canned in syrup, whole contents

Mandarin oranges canned in syrup are citrus fruit preserved in a sugar-containing liquid. These figures describe the whole contents of the can, including both the fruit and the syrup, rather than drained fruit alone. Per 100g, they provide 223 kJ of energy, 13g of carbohydrate and 15mg of vitamin C. The carbohydrate is all recorded as sugars, while fat and saturated fat are present only in trace amounts.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. The sugar content includes sugars from the fruit and the syrup, which is relevant for people monitoring their sugar or energy intake. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 samples, 10 brands. Drained proportion = 0.56). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: LGC, Nutritional composition of fruit products, 1985-1986; and LGC, Fruit and vegetables, 1989-1990.
