This microwave burrito advertises energy in units of kJ

Recently got some burritos from a food bank and while looking for cooking directions I found this nutrition chart. Never seen a food product use anything other than calories for energy, thought it was interesting.

  • Pretty common in the Netherlands, often both kCal and kJ are printed on the product label

  • I was entirely unaware how common and mundane this is basically everywhere outside the United States. This is the first food item I've seen ever list kJ here, which is why I found it interesting, but I guess it's quite standard elsewhere!
