From the USDA.

N8. Should a value of 47 calories be rounded up to 50 calories or rounded down to 45 calories?

Answer: Calories must be shown as follows:

50 calories or less--Round to nearest 5-calorie increment:
Example: Round 47 calories to "45 calories"

Above 50 calories--Round to nearest 10-calorie increment:
Example: Round 96 calories to "100 calories"

21 CFR 101.9(c)(1)
Also see Appendix H for rounding guidelines.
