What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 2 named USDA records in view: 2 direct matches. All sit within “Fruit drinks.” The exact descriptions remain the unit of comparison; the familiar heading is only the doorway into the evidence.

Why these records appear together: The deterministic grouping rule “normalized first description segment” placed these 2 records together under the exact grouping key “fruit flavored drink.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Fruit flavored drink, this page can compare 2 named records from FDC 2710573 through FDC 2710578. It cannot observe which preparation was eaten, recover unnamed additions, or supply the eaten grams.

Editor’s decision brief

The three facts to carry into the table

Carry the denominator, exact identity, and strongest observed contrast into every number below.

Portion

A shared 248 g comparison anchor

Equal source weights make the selected Fruit flavored drink serving totals easier to compare, but the eaten portion still has to be measured or estimated.

Composition

37 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “with high vitamin C”; the higher is “Fruit flavored drink.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

The modifiers carry the decision

The most useful published distinctions include “Fruit flavored drink” and “with high vitamin C”. Match those before scaling nutrients.

Observed source examples

Both records, with their own serving weights intact

These 2 records each use a 248 g serving. Their serving calories compare equal weights within this set. They do not define a calorie range for every fruit flavored drink; match the preparation and adjust to your portion.

Important: “Lower” begins with Fruit flavored drink, with high vitamin C; “higher” ends with Fruit flavored drink, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every fruit flavored drink meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Fruit flavored drink, serving columns preserve each record’s own listed amount, while calories per 100 g hold weight constant. A dash means the cited record does not supply that field; it does not mean the nutrient is absent.

On smaller screens, focus the table and scroll horizontally to read every column.

Portion analysis

Serving total and calorie density answer different questions

Every selected record uses a 248-gram source amount, so serving-weight differences do not explain the calorie spread inside this set. Their own source servings run from 67 calories for “with high vitamin C” to 159 for “Fruit flavored drink.” At a fixed 100 grams, “with high vitamin C” is 27 calories and “Fruit flavored drink” is 64—a fixed-weight separation of 37 calories. For Fruit flavored drink, the serving view answers “how much is in the database portion?”; the 100-gram view answers “how concentrated is the matched record?” Neither reveals how many grams were actually eaten.

The scaling rule: multiply a per-100-gram value by eaten grams ÷ 100. The arithmetic is exact; the result is only as defensible as the record match and portion estimate.

Preparation analysis

The long description carries the evidence

The published descriptions distinguish forms such as “Fruit flavored drink” and “with high vitamin C”. The source formulations contain 2 distinct ingredient codes; examples that appear in only part of the set include beverages, fruit flavored drink containing less than 3% fruit juice, with high vitamin c and beverages, fruit flavored drink, less than 3% juice, not fortified with vitamin c. On this Fruit flavored drink page, those rows make the records inspectable, but they are not a controlled experiment: they cannot tell us that one named input, by itself, caused a nutrient difference.

Database precision is not meal certainty. Retain the exact description beside the number so later corrections remain possible.

What changes the comparison

Four drivers worth checking before choosing a record

The family label “Fruit flavored drink” cannot resolve the differences between Fruit flavored drink and Fruit flavored drink, with high vitamin C. The four checks below identify the record wording, source weight, and formulation evidence that can.

  1. 01

    A shared source weight

    Every selected record uses 248 grams. Inside this set, serving-calorie differences therefore reflect the published composition rather than a change in source weight.

  2. 02

    The words that split the family

    Representative record-level distinctions include “Fruit flavored drink” and “with high vitamin C”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    2 source-input codes appear across the selected records. Their presence and listed weights describe USDA formulations, not finished plated proportions.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Fruit flavored drink” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Fruit flavored drink unknowns for correction instead of converting them into false precision.

Record matching

Match identity first; scale quantity second

Read the source name as a sequence of decisions. First confirm that fruit flavored drink is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“Fruit flavored drink” and “with high vitamin C”—before comparing gram weight. If a package, menu, or known recipe provides a closer first-party description, prefer it and keep this USDA record as a transparent fallback.

A practical matching checklist

  1. Read the complete Fruit flavored drink source description, including preparation and additions.
  2. Compare the listed source weight with the amount actually eaten.
  3. Prefer a current package or restaurant source when a specific branded item is known.
  4. Record toppings, sauces, cooking fat, sides, and substitutions that the selected description does not name.
