Dominic Merritt · Answer 1

no 400 g can

Step-by-step explanation:

A half-kilo jar is 500 grams, so a 400 g can would be 4/5 the weight. 4/5 of 2.5 g of fat would be 2.0 g of fat. The 400 g can has 2.1 g, so has more fat, proportionally, than its weight would suggest.

The fat is not proportional to the can sized. The 400 g can has more fat, proportionally.
