Compare all 4 food records, nutrition tables and USDA sources

The 4 exact records in this guide report 105–117 calories in the records' own listed source servings and 47–148 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 Orange juice 100, begin by separating “Orange juice, 100%, freshly squeezed” from “Orange juice, 100%, with calcium added, canned, bottled or in a carton.” 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 4 named USDA records in view: 4 direct matches. All sit within “Citrus juice.” 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 4 records together under the exact grouping key “orange juice.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Orange juice 100, this page can compare 4 named records from FDC 2709187 through FDC 2709189. 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

71–248 g before composition

The largest source amount is 3.5× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

101 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “freshly squeezed”; the higher is “frozen; not reconstituted.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

0.7 g fiber gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “freshly squeezed” (0.3 g) and “frozen; not reconstituted” (1.0 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 orange juice 100.

Important: “Lower” begins with Orange juice, 100%, frozen, not reconstituted; “higher” ends with Orange juice, 100%, with calcium added, canned, bottled or in a carton, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every orange juice 100 meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Orange juice 100, 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 71 to 248 grams—a 177-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 105 calories for “frozen; not reconstituted” to 117 for “with calcium added.” At a fixed 100 grams, “freshly squeezed” is 47 calories and “frozen; not reconstituted” is 148—a fixed-weight separation of 101 calories. For Orange juice 100, 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 “100%, freshly squeezed”, “100%, canned, bottled or in a carton”, “100%, frozen, not reconstituted”, and “100%, with calcium added, canned, bottled or in a carton”. The source formulations contain 6 distinct ingredient codes; examples that appear in only part of the set include orange juice, no pulp, not fortified, not from concentrate, refrigerated, calcium as ingredient, orange juice, 100%, canned, bottled or in a carton, and orange juice, frozen concentrate, unsweetened, undiluted. On this Orange juice 100 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 “Orange juice 100” cannot resolve the differences between Orange juice, 100%, freshly squeezed and Orange juice, 100%, with calcium added, canned, bottled or in a carton. 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 71–248 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 “100%, freshly squeezed”, “100%, canned, bottled or in a carton”, “100%, frozen, not reconstituted”, and “100%, with calcium added, canned, bottled or in a carton”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    6 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 “Orange juice, 100%, freshly squeezed” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Orange juice 100 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 orange juice 100 is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“100%, freshly squeezed”, “100%, canned, bottled or in a carton”, “100%, frozen, not reconstituted”, and “100%, with calcium added, canned, bottled or in a carton”—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 Orange juice 100 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 4 exact records behind Orange juice 100 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

Orange juice, 100%, frozen, not reconstituted is higher in sodium per 100 g

Orange juice, 100%, frozen, not reconstituted reports 7 mg versus 0 mg for Orange juice, 100%, freshly squeezed: a 7 mg difference when both are normalized to 100 g.

Inspect the underlying evidence

The denominator changes the answer

Orange juice, 100%, frozen, not reconstituted is denser; Orange juice, 100%, freshly squeezed is higher in its source amount

Orange juice, 100%, frozen, not reconstituted reports 148 kcal per 100 g and 105 kcal in USDA source amount (71 g). Orange juice, 100%, freshly squeezed reports a lower 47 kcal per 100 g but a higher 117 kcal in USDA source amount (248 g).

Record identity is part of the estimate

Distinguish “Orange juice, 100%, freshly squeezed” from “Orange juice, 100%, with calcium added, canned, bottled or in a carton”

These are separate USDA records with separate formulations or survey descriptions. Match preparation, additions, and the named household amount before borrowing either record’s nutrients.
