Club crackers nutrition facts are currently published in two incompatible versions, and both of them are live on the internet as you read this. The Kellanova SmartLabel record tied to UPC 00030100100577, last updated 17 July 2026, declares 150 mg of sodium per serving of 4 crackers. A large share of retailer product pages and calorie-tracking databases still say 125 mg. That is a 20 percent gap on the single number most people came looking for. The rest of the panel is less contested: 70 calories, 3 g of total fat, 0 g of saturated fat, 9 g of carbohydrate and under 1 g of protein per 14 g serving. A shorter companion piece, our Club calories and sodium summary, covers only the headline figures.
Quick answer: club crackers nutrition facts, per the current manufacturer label, come to 70 calories, 3 g total fat, 0 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat, 150 mg sodium, 9 g total carbohydrate, 0 g dietary fiber, 1 g total sugars with all of that gram declared as added sugar, and less than 1 g protein for 4 crackers weighing 14 g. Divide it down and one cracker weighs 3.5 g and carries 17.5 calories and 37.5 mg of sodium. A 13.7 oz box holds about 28 servings, roughly 112 crackers, about 1,960 calories and about 4,200 mg of sodium.
What the current Club Original label says
The label of record for Club Original is the Kellanova SmartLabel entry attached to UPC 00030100100577, last updated on 17 July 2026. It fixes the serving at 4 crackers, 14 g, and the package at 13.7 oz with about 28 servings. Every figure in this section comes off that panel.
Per serving: 70 calories, 3 g total fat, 0 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat, 0 mg cholesterol. Sodium is 150 mg, which the panel marks as 7 percent of the Daily Value. Total carbohydrate is 9 g, of which dietary fiber is 0 g and total sugars 1 g, with that whole gram declared as added sugar.
Protein lands under 1 g. Iron is 0.4 mg, or 2 percent DV. Potassium is 10 mg, calcium is 0 mg, vitamin D is 0 mcg.
Why the panel is full of zeros
Four separate lines read zero. Saturated fat, trans fat, dietary fiber and calcium all sit at 0, and cholesterol does too. None of that is an accident of formulation alone. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, through its Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, sets the declaration and rounding conventions for the Nutrition Facts panel at 21 CFR 101.9, and small residual quantities are rounded down to zero rather than printed as fractions.
The saturated fat zero is real, though, and it is the most interesting number on the box. Club is built on a soybean, canola and sunflower oil blend rather than palm oil or butter, so the 3 g of fat per serving arrives almost entirely as unsaturated fat.
Why a serving is only 4 crackers
Serving sizes on U.S. packaged food are not chosen by the marketing department. FDA assigns them through reference amounts customarily consumed, codified at 21 CFR 101.12, and Table 2 of that section draws a line between crackers used as snacks and crackers not usually used as snacks. The two buckets carry different reference amounts, which is why competing brands can legally print servings of different sizes.
That rule is the reason Club Original declares 4 crackers at 14 g while Ritz Original declares 5 crackers at 16 g. Comparing the two panels straight across is therefore comparing unequal quantities of food, and nearly every page that publishes both makes exactly that mistake.
The 125 mg versus 150 mg sodium split
Two sodium figures circulate for the same product. The manufacturer’s SmartLabel record, updated 17 July 2026, declares 150 mg per 4 crackers, marked at 7 percent DV. A long list of grocery and database listings, including Giant, Food Lion, Martin’s, Acme, FatSecret and MyFoodDiary, still publishes 125 mg at 5 percent DV.
Neither camp acknowledges the other exists. Both numbers are formatted with the same authority, and a reader logging food has no signal at all telling them which generation of label they are copying into a diary.
The gap is 25 mg per serving. Small in isolation. Across the roughly 28 servings in a 13.7 oz box it compounds into a materially different picture of what the package delivers.
Who publishes which number
Retailer product detail pages inherit nutrition data from syndicated feeds, and those feeds get refreshed on the retailer’s schedule rather than the manufacturer’s. Crowd-edited calorie databases are slower still: the FatSecret record carrying 125 mg was last touched in March 2023.
USDA’s Agricultural Research Service runs FoodData Central, the public composition database that seeds much of this ecosystem, and its legacy entries still sit under the discontinued “KEEBLER CLUB” naming. Aggregators pull that string, republish it, and the old figure survives another year.
How to check your own box
Start with the UPC. Club Original is 00030100100577; Club Multigrain is 00030100100683; Club Minis Original is 00030100490524. Each one resolves to its own SmartLabel record with its own update date, and those dates are the only reliable way to tell a current panel from a retired one.
SmartLabel itself is run by the Consumer Brands Association as an industry digital-disclosure platform, so it is the manufacturer speaking, not a third party interpreting. When a retailer listing and a SmartLabel record disagree, the timestamped record wins.
Per cracker, per 100 g, per box
Nobody publishes the arithmetic people actually search for. The label gives one basis, 4 crackers at 14 g, and stops there. Yet the common questions are per-cracker calories, per-100 g density for honest cross-brand comparison, and the total damage in a full box.
Here is the whole ladder, built from the Original panel. One cracker weighs 3.5 g, carries 17.5 calories and 37.5 mg of sodium. Per 100 g, Club Original runs 500 calories, 21.4 g fat, 64.3 g carbohydrate and 1,071 mg sodium.
| Basis | Calories | Sodium |
|---|---|---|
| 1 cracker (3.5 g) | 17.5 | 37.5 mg |
| 4 crackers (14 g, label serving) | 70 | 150 mg |
| 30 g (about 1 oz) | 150 | 321 mg |
| 100 g | 500 | 1,071 mg |
Now the box. A 13.7 oz package holds about 112 crackers, roughly 1,960 calories and roughly 4,200 mg of sodium. Set that against the 2,300 mg daily sodium limit and one box is about 1.8 times an entire day’s allowance.
Nobody eats a box in a sitting. But a sleeve during a movie is not exotic, and the per-cracker figure of 37.5 mg makes the running total easy to keep in your head.
Club versus Ritz, normalized per 30 g
Comparing 4 crackers to 5 crackers proves nothing. Normalize both to 30 g and the trade-off becomes clear: Club Original delivers 150 calories, 0 g saturated fat and 321 mg sodium; Ritz Original delivers 150 calories, 2.8 g saturated fat and 244 mg sodium. Same calories. Opposite weaknesses.
The Ritz label from Mondelez reads 80 calories, 4.5 g total fat, 1.5 g saturated fat at 8 percent DV, 130 mg sodium at 6 percent DV, 10 g carbohydrate, 0 g fiber, 1 g sugars and 1 g protein per 5 crackers, 16 g. It also declares 20 mg calcium, which Club does not.
The structural difference is the fat source. Ritz contains palm oil; Club does not. That single choice is what puts 2.8 g of saturated fat per 30 g on one label and 0 g on the other. For a full breakdown of the competing panel, see the Ritz Original panel read line by line.
Which one wins depends entirely on what you are managing. Watching saturated fat, Club is the better buy. Watching sodium density, Ritz is.
Variants and the allergen divergence
Club is not one product. Kellanova publishes separate SmartLabel records for Original, Multigrain, Minis Original, Minis Multi-Grain, Snack Stacks and Snack Packs, and the panels genuinely differ. Treating them as interchangeable is the most common error on competing pages.
Club Multigrain, 12.7 oz, UPC 00030100100683, updated 14 July 2026, gives 60 calories per 4 crackers at 14 g, with 2.5 g total fat split as 1.5 g polyunsaturated and 0.5 g monounsaturated, 0 g saturated fat, 140 mg sodium at 6 percent DV, 10 g carbohydrate, 0 g fiber, 2 g sugars of which 2 g are added, under 1 g protein and 0.4 mg iron. About 26 servings per box.
Club Minis Original, 11 oz, UPC 00030100490524, uses a 34-cracker, 30 g serving: 140 calories, 6 g fat, 0.5 g saturated fat, 300 mg sodium at 13 percent DV, 20 g carbohydrate, under 1 g fiber, 3 g sugars with 2 g added, 2 g protein, 0.9 mg iron, about 10 servings. One mini weighs 0.88 g and carries about 4.1 calories.
The vegan question follows from this and deserves a straight answer. Club Original lists no milk ingredient and its allergen statement names only wheat and soy, yet the box carries a Kosher DAIRY marking, which is what sends people in circles. The Kosher designation reflects production conditions, not a declared dairy ingredient.
Reading the ingredient list line by line
The current Club Original ingredient string runs: enriched flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, vitamin B1 as thiamin mononitrate, vitamin B2 as riboflavin, folic acid); vegetable oil (soybean, canola and/or sunflower, with TBHQ for freshness); sugar; and 2 percent or less of leavening (baking soda, sodium acid pyrophosphate, monocalcium phosphate), salt, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup and soy lecithin.
Two things jump out of that list. Three separate sweeteners appear in a cracker that nobody thinks of as sweet. And the leavening is a three-part system rather than a single agent.
Enriched flour and the vitamins added back
Enriched flour is refined wheat flour with specific nutrients restored: niacin, reduced iron, thiamin, riboflavin and folic acid. The reduced iron is where the panel’s 0.4 mg of iron, 2 percent DV, comes from. The B vitamins and folic acid are present through the same enrichment but do not appear as declared lines on the panel.
This also explains the 0 g fiber. Refining strips the bran; enrichment restores selected vitamins and iron, not fiber. Club Multigrain contains whole wheat flour, defatted wheat germ and oat bran and still declares 0 g dietary fiber, which tells you how little of each is in the formula.
Three sweeteners in a savory cracker
Sugar, high fructose corn syrup and corn syrup all appear. The total they produce is modest: 1 g of total sugars per 4 crackers on Original, all of it declared as added sugar. Multigrain runs 2 g, also entirely added.
Sweeteners in a savory bake are doing browning and flavor-balance work rather than making the product taste sweet. The buttery note reads on the surface first, because the salt and the browning sugars sit where the oil pooled during baking.
TBHQ and the oil blend
TBHQ, tertiary butylhydroquinone, is an antioxidant carried in the oil to slow rancidity. Its use is bounded by federal rule: under 21 CFR 172.185(d), the total antioxidant content of a food containing TBHQ may not exceed 0.02 percent of that food’s oil or fat content. Separately, JECFA, the FAO/WHO Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives, lists an acceptable daily intake of 0 to 0.7 mg per kg of body weight.
Fat oxidation is the same shelf-life enemy that coffee science spends its time on, and the answer in both categories is to block the reaction rather than outrun it. The payoff on the panel is the 2 g of polyunsaturated and 0.5 g of monounsaturated fat that make up the 3 g total, with nothing saturated behind it.
Sodium in context: what 150 mg actually costs you
A serving of 4 crackers spends 150 mg of a 2,300 mg daily budget. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, released 7 January 2026 by USDA and the Department of Health and Human Services, hold that limit for everyone aged 14 and up. FDA puts average U.S. intake near 3,400 mg per day, roughly 50 percent above the limit, with 90 percent of Americans over the recommendation.
Against that backdrop, one labeled serving is a rounding error. Realistic portions are not.
Thirty grams of Club, about a small handful, carries 321 mg. A Minis serving of 34 crackers carries 300 mg, or 13 percent DV in one go. The whole 13.7 oz box carries about 4,200 mg, which is about 1.8 times the entire daily cap.
The American Heart Association keeps 2,300 mg as the ceiling and names 1,500 mg as the better target for most adults. The World Health Organization sets a global goal of under 2 g of sodium per day, equivalent to under 5 g of salt. On a 1,500 mg budget, the arithmetic on a cracker sleeve gets tight fast.
CDC’s Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention tracks population sodium intake, and the reason its numbers stay stubborn is that most sodium is added before the food reaches a kitchen. FDA publishes its own accounting of that in its work on sodium in the packaged food supply.
The rules behind the panel and what changes next
Almost every line on a Club box exists because a federal agency requires it. FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition governs the Nutrition Facts panel at 21 CFR 101.9, serving sizes at 21 CFR 101.12, nutrient content claims including “healthy” at 21 CFR 101.65, gluten-free labeling at 21 CFR 101.91, and TBHQ as an additive at 21 CFR 172.185.
USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service owns a different line entirely. The phrase “contains a bioengineered food ingredient” printed on the Club box is required by the National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard, not by FDA.
Who governs what
Splitting it plainly:
- FDA sets the panel format, the rounding rules, the serving size and the additive limits.
- USDA Agricultural Marketing Service sets the bioengineered disclosure.
- USDA and HHS jointly issue the Dietary Guidelines for Americans that supply the 2,300 mg sodium reference.
- USDA’s Agricultural Research Service maintains FoodData Central, which is why stale “KEEBLER CLUB” records keep resurfacing in third-party apps.
- Kellanova, the manufacturer, publishes the label of record through SmartLabel.
Ownership has moved twice in recent years. Kellanova was created in October 2023 out of the Kellogg Co. split, and Mars, Incorporated completed its acquisition of Kellanova on 11 December 2025, following an agreement announced 14 August 2024 valued at about $35.9 billion, shareowner approval on 1 November 2024 and final regulatory clearance on 8 December 2025. Labels still carry “Kellogg Company US, Battle Creek, MI 49016.”
What changes on the box next
Three regulatory clocks are running. FDA’s final rule redefining the “healthy” nutrient content claim published 27 December 2024 at 89 FR 106064, took effect 25 February 2025, and carries a compliance date of 25 February 2028; it requires both a food-group-equivalent minimum and caps on added sugars, sodium and saturated fat.
FDA’s proposed front-of-package rule, published 16 January 2025 at 90 FR 5426, would add a “Nutrition Info” box on the upper third of the principal display panel showing percent DV for saturated fat, sodium and added sugars with High, Med and Low markers. And FDA’s Phase II draft sodium guidance, issued 15 August 2024 with comments closed 13 January 2025, sets three-year targets across 163 food categories aimed at pulling average intake toward about 2,750 mg per day; Phase I targets ran to April 2024.
Any of the three could move the numbers on this box. The 125 mg versus 150 mg confusion is a preview of how messy the data ecosystem gets when they do.
Where Club fits in keto, low-sodium and lunchbox eating
For keto, the math is unforgiving: 9 g of carbohydrate and 0 g of fiber per 4 crackers means 9 g net, which consumes a meaningful share of a strict daily allowance for very little food. For low-sodium diets, 37.5 mg per cracker is the number to count, and a Minis serving at 300 mg is a poor trade. For weight management, 500 calories per 100 g puts Club in genuinely calorie-dense territory. For kids’ lunchboxes it works better, mostly because a snack pack fixes the portion for you and the 0 g of saturated fat compares well against butter-style crackers. Protein is not the reason to eat these; that job belongs to high-protein recipes built on real protein sources.
Cooking with Club crackers
Crushed Club is a standard crumb topping and a workable pie-crust base, and the reason is structural: the unsaturated oil blend and the fine, low-fiber crumb from enriched flour give a topping that browns evenly and stays short rather than tough. Both moves change the numbers, though. A 30 g portion of crackers already brings 321 mg of sodium and 150 calories before any butter joins it, and casserole toppings are rarely measured in 30 g increments. Whole crackers work as a soup side or under a spread, and they carry a chicken club sandwich plate without stealing the show. Portion-controlled snack packs are why food trucks and lunch counters use them at all.
Frequently asked questions
How many calories are in one Club cracker?
One Club Original cracker weighs 3.5 g and carries 17.5 calories, derived from the label serving of 4 crackers at 14 g and 70 calories. Sodium works out to 37.5 mg per cracker. Kellanova does not print per-cracker figures anywhere on the box, so the division is yours to do at the counter.
Which sodium figure is correct, 125 mg or 150 mg?
The Kellanova SmartLabel record for UPC 00030100100577, updated 17 July 2026, declares 150 mg per 4 crackers at 7 percent of the Daily Value. Retailer listings and crowd-edited databases still show 125 mg at 5 percent DV, some of them last touched in March 2023. The manufacturer record is the label of record.
Are Club crackers dairy free or vegan?
Club Original lists no milk ingredient and declares only wheat and soy as allergens, yet the box carries a Kosher DAIRY marking, which is what confuses shoppers. Club Minis Original is a different case: whey appears in the ingredient list and the allergen statement names wheat, milk and soy. Read the specific package.
Why is the serving size only 4 crackers?
FDA sets serving sizes through reference amounts customarily consumed, codified at 21 CFR 101.12. Table 2 of that section separates crackers used as snacks from crackers not usually used as snacks, and the two categories carry different reference amounts. That is why Club Original declares 4 crackers at 14 g while Ritz Original declares 5 crackers at 16 g.
Do Club crackers have any fiber or protein worth counting?
No. Club Original declares 0 g dietary fiber and less than 1 g of protein per 4 crackers. Club Multigrain lists whole wheat flour, defatted wheat germ and oat bran on its ingredient panel and still declares 0 g fiber. Club Minis Original reaches 2 g of protein, but only across 34 crackers weighing 30 g.
Are Club crackers gluten free?
No. Enriched wheat flour is the first ingredient and wheat is declared as an allergen on every variant. FDA’s gluten-free labeling rule at 21 CFR 101.91 reserves that claim for foods below 20 parts per million of gluten, and no Club package carries the claim. Anyone avoiding gluten needs products that state it explicitly, such as certified gluten free tortellini options.
How much sodium is in a whole box?
A 13.7 oz box holds about 28 servings, roughly 112 crackers, about 1,960 calories and about 4,200 mg of sodium. Measured against the 2,300 mg daily limit in the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, one box is about 1.8 times a full day’s sodium allowance on its own.
The bottom line
Buy the box, scan the code, trust the timestamp. That is the whole method, and it resolves a discrepancy that every major page on this product currently ignores.
Club Original earns its 0 g saturated fat honestly by skipping palm oil, and loses ground on sodium density at 321 mg per 30 g against 244 mg for Ritz. It supplies no fiber and effectively no protein. Treat it as a vehicle, not a nutrient source, and count crackers rather than servings when sodium matters. If you are reheating a cracker-topped casserole, the rules on tin foil in an air fryer are worth knowing first. The same read-the-panel discipline applies elsewhere in the dairy aisle, as in what an A2 milk label really says.
