We counted cases and cans from each live chickenpieces.com pallet and case page on November 12, 2026, and confirmed stock and Item IDs on those pages. Protein figures come only from manufacturer labels we opened (Heinz Canada, Unico) or the protein line on our own product page. We built the FAQ from real searched questions such as "pallet of baked beans" and "protein in chickpeas".

How Many Cans of Beans Are on a Pallet?
Can counts, case math and label protein for baked bean and chickpea pallets, and when a case is the better buy than a full pallet.
Quick Answer
A pallet of Heinz Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce holds 600 cans: 50 cases of 12 x 48 oz (1.36 L) cans. Our chickpea pallets hold 300 cans: 50 cases of 6 x 2.84 L cans.
At a Glance
Key Takeaways
600 or 300 cans
Bean pallets in our catalogue are 50 cases each. Can size decides whether that comes to 600 or 300 cans.
Weight sets the limit
Canned food pallets usually hit the weight limit before the height limit, so larger cans mean fewer units.
Protein from the label
Heinz Canada lists 6 g of protein per 1/2 cup of beans in tomato sauce. Unico lists 10 g per 1/2 cup of chickpeas.
Pallets ship in Canada only
Pallet orders ship within Canada only. Single cases can ship to Canada and the US.
Methodology
How we put this guide together
Pallet count
How many cans of baked beans are on a pallet?
Our Heinz baked beans pallet holds 600 cans. That's 50 cases with 12 cans per case, and each can is 48 oz (1.36 L). At 1.36 kg per can, the product alone weighs about 816 kg, before you add cases, wrap and the pallet itself.
A "pallet of beans" can mean different counts from one warehouse to another, because can size and stacking rules differ. Always ask for the case count and the cans per case, then multiply. Our bulk food pallet guide covers the ordering steps.
Field tip: Check the listing title for the case count and the units per case. On our pallet pages, both are in the product name.
Chickpeas
How many cans of chickpeas are on a pallet?
Our chickpea pallets hold 300 cans each. The Unico chickpeas pallet and the Success garbanzo beans pallet are both 50 cases of 6 cans, and each can is 2.84 L (100 oz). That's about 852 L of canned chickpeas on a pallet, liquid included.
The 2.84 L can is the standard foodservice size for hummus, salad bars and soup batches. Fewer, bigger cans mean less opening and less can waste per litre. If you only need a few cans a week, a 6-can case of Primo chickpeas is the same can size, without committing to a pallet.
Field tip: Drained yield is less than the can volume. Weigh one drained can and use that figure when you cost a recipe.
Pallet math
Why do canned food pallets hold fewer cases than snack pallets?
Canned food is heavy, so the pallet usually hits its weight limit before its height limit. Warehouse teams describe a pallet as TI x HI: cases per layer times the number of layers. For heavy cases, the safe number of layers is set by weight, so the stack stays low.
A TI/HI guide from Surpass shows a canned goods example where weight caps the stack at just two layers, while a light cereal case is capped by height. That's why our oat bag pallet and our bean pallets don't use the same counts.
Field tip: When a pallet arrives, count the layers and the cases per layer. TI x HI should match the case count on the listing.
Protein
How much protein is in canned baked beans and chickpeas?
Heinz Canada lists 6 g of protein per 1/2 cup (125 mL) of its Original Beans in Tomato Sauce. Unico lists 10 g of protein per 1/2 cup (125 mL) of its chick peas. Our Primo black beans page lists 7 g per 1/2 cup. Beans are a useful plant protein, but they aren't a full stand-in for every menu protein.
Those numbers are from the Heinz Canada product label, the Unico chick peas label and the Primo black beans listing. Our Heinz case page lists about 6 g per serving as well. For more shelf-stable options, see our shelf-stable high-protein foods guide.
Field tip: Protein per serving is a label figure. Your portion size decides what a plate actually delivers, so cost the dish from the portion, not only from the can.
Per can
How much protein is in a 48 oz can of baked beans?
About 65 g, by label math. A 1.36 L can holds about 10.9 half-cup servings of 125 mL. At 6 g each, that's roughly 65 g of protein per can. A 600-can pallet works out to about 39 kg of protein, which helps food banks and institutions plan a bulk order.
This is an estimate built from the Heinz Canada label rate, not a lab test of a specific lot. Serving sizes on foodservice cans can differ from retail cans, so check the label on the case that arrives. For chickpeas, drain first. The liquid volume isn't edible yield.
Field tip: Write protein per portion on your recipe card, not protein per can. That's the number dietitians and menu planners ask for.
Allergens
Do canned baked beans contain allergens?
Check every label. The Heinz Canada label for Original Beans in Tomato Sauce lists mustard as a contained allergen. Our Heinz pallet listing notes "may contain soy". Unico's chick peas list chick peas, water, salt and disodium EDTA. Formulas can change, so read the label on the case you actually receive.
For care homes and schools, add the allergen line to your menu card and keep the case label until the last can is gone. If you need allergen statements before you order, call us or request a quote and we'll check the current label.
Field tip: Keep one empty can label from each lot on file. That's the fastest way to answer an allergen question later.

Our Take
Protein per pallet, not just cans per pallet
Pallet listings usually stop at the can count. For a food bank or institution, the more useful number is protein. By Heinz's label rate, a 600-can baked bean pallet carries roughly 39 kg of protein. That turns a freight decision into a number you can use on a menu plan.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How many cans of beans are on a pallet?
Our Heinz baked beans pallet holds 600 cans, as 50 cases of 12 x 48 oz (1.36 L) cans. Other pallets can hold more or fewer cans, depending on can size and how high you can stack them. Always multiply cases per pallet by cans per case to confirm the count.
How many cases of beans are on a pallet?
Our bean and chickpea pallets are 50 cases each. The Heinz pallet has 12 cans per case, and the chickpea pallets have 6 large cans per case. Heavy canned cases usually stack lower than light snack cases, because weight, not height, sets the limit. See the formats in Pallets & Skids.
How much is a pallet of baked beans?
Pallet pricing changes with stock and freight, so check the live Heinz baked beans pallet listing or call 1-833-462-8550 for a quote. Pallets ship within Canada only. For a delivered cost, include freight to your dock and make sure you can unload a pallet safely.
How much protein is in baked beans?
Heinz Canada lists 6 g of protein per 1/2 cup (125 mL) of its Original Beans in Tomato Sauce, from the Heinz Canada label. That works out to roughly 65 g per 48 oz can by the label servings. Check the label on the case that arrives, since foodservice serving sizes can differ.
How much protein is in a can of chickpeas?
Unico lists 10 g of protein per 1/2 cup (125 mL) of chick peas on its product label. A 2.84 L can holds about 22 half-cup portions by volume, before draining. Drained yield is lower, so weigh one drained can and use that number to plan protein per portion.
Do Heinz baked beans have pork?
The Heinz Canada label for Original Beans in Tomato Sauce lists water, white beans, tomato puree, sugar, salt and seasonings, all plant-based. Some other bean varieties include animal ingredients, so read the variety name on the case. Our Heinz baked beans case and pallet are the tomato sauce variety, not a mixed assortment.
Are Heinz baked beans gluten free?
The Heinz Canada label we checked doesn't list wheat, and its stated allergen is mustard. Gluten-free status is a label claim, so check the gluten-free statement and allergen panel on the case you receive. Our pallet listing also notes "may contain soy". Call us if you need a current label before you order.
Do baked beans have mustard?
Heinz Canada's Original Beans in Tomato Sauce label lists mustard as the allergen. That's the variety on our pallet and 12-can case. Other bean brands and varieties can differ, so read the allergen panel on the case that arrives rather than assuming every baked bean can is the same.
Can I get a pallet of baked beans shipped to the US?
No. Pallets ship within Canada only. Single cases, like the Heinz 12-can case or Primo black beans, can ship to Canada and the US at live UPS rates. For Canadian pallet delivery, confirm you have a loading dock or another way to unload a full pallet.
How do you calculate shipping on bulk orders?
We calculate shipping on live carrier rates at checkout, not on flat or subsidized tiers. Each order uses real LTL, parcel or pallet-freight quotes from our Calgary warehouse to your dock. We charge what the carrier charges us, plus a small handling pass-through. For bulk and pallet orders, the rate is tied to the actual shipment weight and distance.
