Top 50 Foods Highest in Phosphorus — Per Serving

Ranked by phosphorus content per typical serving size. The Daily Value is 1250mg.

Unlike per-100g rankings, this list uses realistic serving sizes — so you see how much phosphorus you actually get from a normal portion. Serving sizes come from FDA RACC, USDA household measures, or curated defaults.
