The canonical energy (kcal) value per serving is 120 kcal. And the canonical energy (kcal) value for the 100g-group is 900 kcal, i.e. 7.5 times larger. Where could this 7.5 factor come from? The conversion to 100 ml plus de conversion to gram, only provides a factor of 7.14. Hence the value of 857 kcal, which we see in the distribution.

I wonder whether this difference is due to rounding issues. The US style nutritional table likes to have a simple serving size: 1 tablespoon, which translates to 15ml. But are tablespoons in de US measured in milliliters? It says so on the packages. If we calculate the tablespoon-size from 120 and 900 kcal, we get a size of 14.63 ml, i.e. rounded 15 ml. We better use this value for normalisation.
