Dunnes Stores products ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 1,310 Dunnes Stores products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories. Figures per label, sourced from Open Food Facts and tracker user logs, last checked 2026-09-18.

What the Dunnes Stores numbers show

Across the 1,310 Dunnes Stores own-label products with usable label figures, the median is 3.8g of protein per 100 calories. 242 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in five, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

That is the lowest median of the seven Irish chains we track. Lidl leads at 5g — 1.3 times as much protein per calorie at the median.

Inside Dunnes Stores it is concentrated, not spread: ham runs a median of 17g of protein per 100 calories across 42 products, and only three other aisles get past 10.7g.

Calories run from 20 to 739 per 100g across the Dunnes Stores own-label range, a 37-fold spread, so “Dunnes Stores own-label” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

What to put in the Dunnes Stores trolley

Shop it by aisle, not by brand. In Dunnes Stores the protein per calorie sits in ham (17g), beef (12g) and steak (11g). Past that it drops away, and the rest of the shop is a calorie decision rather than a protein one.

The single most protein-dense thing Dunnes Stores puts its own name on is Dunnes Stores Tuna Steak in Brine, at 24.5g of protein per 100 calories against the 3.8g store median.

122 of the 1,310 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

The strongest of those is broken out on its own page — Dunnes Stores Ham, 42 products — and the same category across every chain and brand is on Ham in Ireland.

A protein-per-calorie number is only useful once you know the target, and that is how much protein a day actually works out to.
