Dunnes Stores pasta ranked by protein density

Showing the top 45 of the 45 Dunnes Stores pasta 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 Dunnes Stores's pasta looks like next to everyone else's

Median across the 45 Dunnes Stores pasta products with usable figures is 3.7g of protein per 100 calories. That is level with the 3.6g median for pasta across all 983 products in the database, chains and name brands together.

Exactly one clears 10g of protein per 100 calories, which is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Of the three chains carrying enough pasta to compare, Dunnes Stores comes second, behind Lidl on 3.8g.

The best Dunnes Stores option here reaches 14.6g of protein per 100 calories, which is as high as anything in the whole pasta group gets.

Calories run from 38 to 363 per 100g across the Dunnes Stores pasta range, a 9-fold spread, so “Dunnes Stores pasta” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

What to pick in Dunnes Stores

Most of what is sold as pasta is not a protein food. Exactly one product clears 10g per 100 calories, and it sits at the top of the table — an exception, not a rule to shop by.

Nothing in here passes 400 calories per 100g, so portion size matters less than it does in the snack aisles.

Where this fits

Pasta across every Irish store is the wider group this sits in, and everything else Dunnes Stores sells is the other half of the comparison.

The practical half of this — counting calories without weighing everything.

For one specific item rather than a shortlist, the 20,000-product database is searchable on Calories in Ireland and built into the calorie app.
