Good for

How we counted this

What one serving (70 g) gives you.

Your body needs enough of each of these. Past enough, more doesn’t help. Amounts are what the food databases list, not what your body absorbs, unless a row says it was measured.

The words: “A lot” means one serving gives 20% or more of Health Canada’s daily amount, “Some” 10% to 19%, “A little” 2% to 9%, “Almost none” under 2%. Strongest word first; within a word, protein and fibre lead, then the biggest share.

A milligram (mg) is a thousandth of a gram, and a microgram (µg) a thousandth of a milligram: 1,000 µg make 1 mg.

    320 g in one sitting reaches the limit

    The dataset’s rating: Nothing to watch: under the limit

    No cap: these are frozen fries as sold, before baking, which drives off water, so the baked concentration is higher. EFSA's 2020 no-concern line for one sitting is 100 µg/kg body weight of total glycoalkaloids (7,000 µg at 70 kg; an effect level of 1 mg/kg body weight with a margin of 10). At the mean of 22 µg/g, 318 g in one sitting would reach it, eaten alone; a 70 g serving is 22% of the limit, and 58% at the highest value reported (58 mg/kg). This is a fried or processed product, not the raw tuber.

    No cap: no safe threshold is set for acrylamide, and a serving stays under doubling. A 70 g serving adds 20.4-45.9% to EFSA's adult mean intake (0.4-0.9 µg/kg body weight/day = 28-63 µg/day, 2015). Against Health Canada's lower mean (11-20 µg/day) it is 64-117%; the band rests on EFSA's average. Home oven-baked from frozen.

For some people

  • Flagged for sulphite-sensitive people, including some people with asthma; not scored. Sulphites must be declared on a packaged product's label, so check the ingredient list.

Worth knowing

No limit applies, so none is rated.

  • Sugar

    0.3 g of sugar in a 70 g serving, natural and added together.

    Learn more

    Shown, not rated. The food tables we read give total sugar, and few give added sugar, so the site can’t yet tell sugar added in making a food from the sugar in fruit or milk.

Better options

How we counted this

“Better” here always means better at something the row names: more of one nutrient, more nutrients per serving, or the goal you pick. It never means better in every way.

Every amount below is for the same weight, 70 g, the size of one serving of this food, so a swap compares like with like. A serving of another food can be bigger or smaller.

Compared with the other starchy sides we’ve checked.

A food is listed only if it gives clearly more: at least a fifth more than this food, and at least 10% of the daily amount more.

More of what it’s good for

More niacin

Amounts as listed, not adjusted for how much gets in.

For vitamin B6: no other starchy sides we’ve checked give clearly more, in the same 70 g.

More nutrients per serving, counted together

The other starchy sides we’ve checked with more nutrients per serving than this one, counting at most 100 kcal. One score ranks them all, so the same few often lead.

  • Sweet potato, boiled
    • More vitamin A (551 µg vs 0 µg)
    • Less omega-3: ALA (0 mg vs 165 mg)
  • Whole-wheat bread
    • More selenium (18.1 µg vs 0.28 µg)
    • More thiamin (0.27 mg vs 0.09 mg)
    • More niacin (3.86 mg vs 1.73 mg)

2 foods out of the 3 other starchy sides we’ve checked and could compare give clearly more nutrients per serving.

Where the calcium card measured that less calcium gets in than from milk, calcium counts for less; everything else is as listed.

Your goal

Your goal changes only this list, not what the food gives you or what to watch.

Losing weight: fewer calories, and more nutrients, protein and fibre for each calorie.

Listed nutrients, per 100 g

For each nutrient, the value this page uses is marked “used”. A row marked “second database” is another database’s figure for a matching food, kept so you can see how far databases disagree (they can differ in the samples analysed, lab methods and rounding). Its own cells are worked out from it, but none of the page’s words or scores are.

Hazard rows as the dataset rates them

  • Acrylamide · Nothing to watch: doesn’t double average intake · No cap: no safe threshold is set for acrylamide, and a serving stays under doubling. A 70 g serving adds 28.6-64.2% to EFSA's adult mean intake (0.4-0.9 µg/kg body weight/day = 28-63 µg/day, 2015). Against Health Canada's lower mean (11-20 µg/day) it is 89-164%; the band rests on EFSA's average. · EFSA 2015 · A
  • Acrylamide · Nothing to watch: doesn’t double average intake · No cap: no safe threshold is set for acrylamide, and a serving stays under doubling. A 70 g serving adds 20.4-45.9% to EFSA's adult mean intake (0.4-0.9 µg/kg body weight/day = 28-63 µg/day, 2015). Against Health Canada's lower mean (11-20 µg/day) it is 64-117%; the band rests on EFSA's average. Home oven-baked from frozen. · DOI 10.1080/19440049.2024.2379388 · A
  • Acrylamide · Nothing to watch: doesn’t double average intake · No cap: no safe threshold is set for acrylamide, and a serving stays under doubling. A 70 g serving adds 26.6-59.8% to EFSA's adult mean intake (0.4-0.9 µg/kg body weight/day = 28-63 µg/day, 2015). Against Health Canada's lower mean (11-20 µg/day) it is 83-152%; the band rests on EFSA's average. · EFSA 2015 · A
  • Acrylamide · Nothing to watch: doesn’t double average intake · No cap: no safe threshold is set for acrylamide, and a serving stays under doubling. A 70 g serving adds 22.9-51.5% to EFSA's adult mean intake (0.4-0.9 µg/kg body weight/day = 28-63 µg/day, 2015). Against Health Canada's lower mean (11-20 µg/day) it is 72-131%; the band rests on EFSA's average.

  • Acrylamide · Nothing to watch: doesn’t double average intake · No cap: no safe threshold is set for acrylamide, and a serving stays under doubling. A 70 g serving adds 20.2-45.5% to EFSA's adult mean intake (0.4-0.9 µg/kg body weight/day = 28-63 µg/day, 2015).

  • Potato glycoalkaloids (solanine) · Nothing to watch: under the limit · No cap: these are frozen fries as sold, before baking, which drives off water, so the baked concentration is higher. EFSA's 2020 no-concern line for one sitting is 100 µg/kg body weight of total glycoalkaloids (7,000 µg at 70 kg; an effect level of 1 mg/kg body weight with a margin of 10). At the mean of 22 µg/g, 318 g in one sitting would reach it, eaten alone; a 70 g serving is 22% of the limit, and 58% at the highest value reported (58 mg/kg). This is a fried or processed product, not the raw tuber. · EFSA 2020 · B
  • Sulphites · Worth knowing · Flagged for sulphite-sensitive people, including some people with asthma; not scored. Sulphites must be declared on a packaged product's label, so check the ingredient list. · Health Canada · B

Body map 2026-10-25.1: each nutrient’s job comes from an agency fact sheet, linked beside it under Good for.

The plain words: “a lot” means one serving (100 g when the food has no serving size) gives at least 20% of the daily amount (the reference intake), “some” at least 10%, “a little” at least 2% (the cut-offs are ours, one set for every page: 20% and 10% are borrowed from the US labelling terms “high” and “good source” and applied to Health Canada’s daily amount, whereas Health Canada’s own shopper rule says 15%; provisional: they may change in a later method version). The daily amount is Health Canada’s Dietary Reference Intake for adults 19–30; where men and women need different amounts we use the higher one (protein: 56 g for men, 46 g for women). The percentage printed under each nutrient is the printed amount as a share of that daily amount, rounded to the nearest whole number, and the word is read from that percentage, so the amount, the percentage and the word always agree. Calcium with a measured absorption is scaled by how well it gets in compared with milk.

The scale: “Nothing to watch” means a serving a day stays under the limit at ordinary amounts; “Go easy” means a serving a day can push past the limit for adults who already take in the most, or fewer than 2 servings reach it; “Limit it” means once a week or less. The dataset’s own rating is under “How we got this”. Provisional: the scale may change in a later method version.

Measured absorption under Good for: grade-A studies in adults that tested this preparation of this food, as a share of the listed amount (the share digested, for protein), quoted once each source has passed our evidence check; animal studies and other variants stay in the table above. Provisional: this screen may change in a later method version.
