For a plain vegan-friendly rice cake with a stated portion figure, Kallo Organic Lightly Salted is listed at 27 kcal per cake by Kallo and Sainsbury’s. Kallo Blueberry & Vanilla offers a flavoured alternative at 35 kcal and 1.4 g sugars per cake, according to Sainsbury’s. If you have a milk allergy, check the current pack separately: vegan-friendly wording does not rule out a milk cross-contact warning.
A per-cake calorie figure helps with portion comparisons, but vegan suitability and allergy precautions are separate checks.
If you want a plain base for your own toppings, Kallo Organic Lightly Salted has a stated 27 kcal per cake, according to Kallo and Sainsbury’s. Count any topping as part of the snack rather than treating the rice cake’s figure as the total.
Kallo Blueberry & Vanilla Rice & Corn Cakes are described as vegan-friendly in Sainsbury’s listing, which states 35 kcal and 1.4 g sugars per cake. Compare those figures with a plain cake if flavour matters more to you than choosing the lower stated per-cake figure.
Check ingredients and precautionary allergen wording as well as vegan suitability. Kallo’s lightly salted cakes are described as vegan-friendly but carry a possible milk cross-contact warning; The Vegan Society also cautions that vegan products are not automatically suitable for people allergic to animal products.
Start with the exact product’s vegan information, then compare nutrition on the same stated basis. If an allergy is relevant, assess the current pack’s allergen information independently of its vegan wording.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Vegan suitability | Check the vegan statement and ingredients for the exact flavour and pack. Tesco describes Snack a Jacks Jumbo Salt & Vinegar as suitable for vegetarians; that statement alone does not establish vegan suitability. | “I want to know whether this particular snack fits my vegan shopping, rather than assuming all rice cakes do.” |
| Portion calories | Compare kcal per cake where both products state it, and include any toppings. Sainsbury’s lists Kallo Organic Lightly Salted at 27 kcal per cake and Kallo Blueberry & Vanilla at 35 kcal per rice-and-corn cake. | “For a plain snack, I can use the per-cake figure to plan my portion. If I choose flavour instead, I want to see what changes.” |
| Allergen information | Read both the ingredients and precautionary warnings on the current pack. Kallo warns that its vegan-friendly lightly salted cakes may contain milk, sesame seeds and soya. | “A vegan label does not answer my milk-allergy question; I need to assess the warning for the product I am buying.” |
| Nutrition basis | Use per-100 g figures when individual-cake figures are not stated. Marks & Spencer lists 386 kcal and 0.33 g salt per 100 g for its Lightly Salted Rice Cakes, versus 451 kcal and 0.60 g salt per 100 g for its Barbecue High Protein Rice Cakes. | “If I am considering the M&S protein option, I want to compare its stated nutrition with the plain option without assuming it has fewer calories per cake.” |
Kallo’s lightly salted rice cakes are described as vegan-friendly but may contain milk through cross-contact. The Vegan Society says vegan products can carry animal-allergen warnings.

Marks & Spencer lists 24.8 g protein and 451 kcal per 100 g for its Barbecue High Protein Rice Cakes. Its Lightly Salted Rice Cakes list 386 kcal per 100 g, so the protein figure does not establish a lower-energy choice.
