Percentages are the share of the FDA Daily Value for adults and children 4 and over, worked out from Popeyes’ published amounts (how % Daily Value works). A dash means Popeyes does not publish that value for this size. Not published for this item: added sugars.
Using the FDA’s rule of thumb that 5% of the Daily Value or less per serving is low and 20% or more is high, the Regular size is high in sodium (24%) and saturated fat (20%) and is low in dietary fiber. Add it up with other items in the Popeyes nutrition calculator.
