Is this even possible?

Slight misprint. 100g dry would be near 320 calories yes?

    I can't even find that exact product online...google-fu is weak this morning, but I checked a couple of other soya granule products and they showed ~340ish per 100g.

    Do the calories even count if they're not listed on the package? o:)

    Wow, that's a breath-taking misprint! I searched the label closely to try to find something that would explain the discrepancy, but nope, they're completely off the rails. Good catch, that could really mess with a person's calorie goals :(

    That's jacked! I'd reach out to the company directly if I were you. Is that recall worthy?

    Yup, that is TVP and the label is WAY off. 320 calories would be about right for 100g. Here’s a label for the Bob’s Red Mill TVP.

    Reaching out to the company couldn't hurt, at least if you're in the US. The FDA sets maximum allowance of errors in labeling, and this one is glaringely outside the acceptable limit. There are fines for being out of compliance - if they choose to accept the fine instead of recalling this lot, you can bet they'll correct the labeling going forward.

    I've had the Red Mill and other brands before so I've not been caught out or anything, but you know some might seize on what they want to see rather than what they know.
