Compare all 6 food records, nutrition tables and USDA sources

The 6 exact records in this guide report 2–123 calories in the records' own listed source servings and 1–46 calories per 100 grams. Those are observations from named database records—not a universal range or an estimate of an unseen plate.

Match my meal

Start with the description closest to what you ate

For Fruit juice drink, begin by separating “Fruit juice drink” from “Fruit juice drink, with high vitamin C, light.” Choosing a card filters this source set; it does not infer the portion or fill in ingredients the chosen description does not name.

What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 6 named USDA records in view: 6 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 6 records together under the exact grouping key “fruit juice drink.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Fruit juice drink, this page can compare 6 named records from FDC 2710567 through FDC 2710585. 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

240–372 g before composition

The largest source amount is 1.6× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

45 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

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

Discriminator

0.2 g fiber gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “Fruit juice drink” (0.0 g) and “citrus” (0.2 g).

Observed source examples

Three landmarks inside this source set—not universal endpoints

The cards are ordered by calories in each record's listed serving. Serving weights differ, so use per-100-gram values to compare composition. These selected records do not define a calorie range for every fruit juice drink.

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

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Fruit juice 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

The listed source amounts run from 240 to 372 grams—a 132-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 2 calories for “diet” to 123 for “noncitrus.” At a fixed 100 grams, “diet” is 1 calories and “with high vitamin C” is 46—a fixed-weight separation of 45 calories. For Fruit juice 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 juice drink”, “citrus, carbonated”, “noncitrus, carbonated”, “with high vitamin C”, and “with high vitamin C, light”. The source formulations contain 10 distinct ingredient codes; examples that appear in only part of the set include beverages, carbonated, club soda, beverages, cranberry-apple juice drink, low calorie, with vitamin c added, beverages, fruit juice drink, greater than 3% juice, high vitamin c, and beverages, fruit-flavored drink, dry powdered mix, low calorie, with aspartame. On this Fruit juice 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 juice drink” cannot resolve the differences between Fruit juice drink and Fruit juice drink, with high vitamin C, light. The four checks below identify the record wording, source weight, and formulation evidence that can.

  1. 01

    Source weight before serving calories

    The source amounts span 240–372 grams. Compare per 100 grams before reading a serving-calorie gap as a composition gap.

  2. 02

    The words that split the family

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

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    10 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 juice drink” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Fruit juice 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 juice drink is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“Fruit juice drink”, “diet”, “noncitrus, carbonated”, and “with high vitamin C, light”—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 juice 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.

Decision support from the exact records on this page

Turn source data into a better next decision

These conclusions and reading paths are computed from 6 exact records behind Fruit juice drink source-record guide. Links are chosen by record identity, controlled contrast, formulation input, nutrient spread, or serving context—not by loose keyword similarity.

Equal-weight result

Fruit juice drink, with high vitamin C is higher in potassium per 100 g

Fruit juice drink, with high vitamin C reports 122 mg versus 0 mg for Fruit juice drink: a 122 mg difference when both are normalized to 100 g.

Inspect the underlying evidence

The denominator changes the answer

Fruit juice drink, with high vitamin C is denser; Fruit juice drink, noncitrus, carbonated is higher in its source amount

Fruit juice drink, with high vitamin C reports 46 kcal per 100 g and 114 kcal in USDA source amount (248 g). Fruit juice drink, noncitrus, carbonated reports a lower 33 kcal per 100 g but a higher 123 kcal in USDA source amount (372 g).

Choose the record before reading the number

Fruit juice drink, with high vitamin C and Fruit juice drink, with high vitamin C, light are not interchangeable

The page keeps both records at the same 100 g denominator and makes Light wording (No matching controlled term in the source name versus light wording) the explicit record-description contrast. It does not show that the wording difference caused a nutrient difference. Pick the description that matches the food in front of you rather than averaging away the distinction.
