The editorial read

The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity

Portion: the cited record reports about 37 calories for 1 cup at 248 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 15 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 0 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 52 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beverages, ocean spray, cran-energy, cranberry energy juice drink, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.

The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 cup at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.

The household measures attached to this record span roughly 5–37 calories across the listed portions. That is a set of scaled examples—not a confidence interval, a recommendation, or a claim about the full universe of recipes.

Calculated from the smallest and largest usable household measures listed by USDA for this exact FNDDS record; not a confidence interval.

Record-specific decision brief

What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you

This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2710762: “Energy drink (Ocean Spray Cran-Energy Juice Drink).” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.

01 · Portion arithmetic

Three weights, one fixed composition

For FDC 2710762, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 fl oz” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

02 · Fixed-weight context

Where 100 grams sits inside Sport and energy drinks

The comparison set contains 17 exact records in the Sport and energy drinks USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2710762’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2710762’s 248 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin C; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Sodium. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.

Strength-side signals

Vitamin C62 mg

≈ 69% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Tradeoff-side signals

Sodium52 mg

≈ 2% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Energy drink (Ocean Spray Cran-Energy Juice Drink),” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2710754 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 fl oz to 1 cup

    USDA assigns those measures 31 g and 248 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 5 kcal to 37 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2710754

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 7.6 g less carbohydrate than “Energy drink (SoBe Energize Energy Juice Drink).” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Single listed source: Beverages, OCEAN SPRAY, Cran-Energy, Cranberry Energy Juice Drink

    USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.

05 · Exact-record choice

Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name

Keep this record when the exact wording “Energy drink (Ocean Spray Cran-Energy Juice Drink)” fits. Inspect FDC 2710754 when the exact wording “Energy drink (SoBe Energize Energy Juice Drink)” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2710762 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Energy drink (Ocean Spray Cran-Energy Juice Drink)” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

A single-source formulation

Beverages, OCEAN SPRAY, Cran-Energy, Cranberry Energy Juice Drink is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.

100 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

Use this formulation to choose a closer record—not to reverse-engineer a recipe. If your meal adds, removes, or substantially changes one of these components, another source entry or a photo-based estimate may fit better.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2710762, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Sport and energy drinks” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.

Only this record lists Beverages, OCEAN SPRAY, Cran-Energy, Cranberry Energy Juice Drink. Only the comparison record lists Beverages, Energy drink, Citrus. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.

2 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.

Formulation evidence

The listed formulations differ

The formulation rows differ, but the source data do not isolate which component caused any nutrient difference. Input weights describe the standardized formulation—not final plated proportions.

Listed only in this record: Beverages, OCEAN SPRAY, Cran-Energy, Cranberry Energy Juice Drink.

Listed only in the comparison: Beverages, Energy drink, Citrus.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 248 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (248 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 496 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (248 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2710762 with FDC 2710754 at equal mass; use their 248 g and 496 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2710762 versus FDC 2710754 is a comparison of standardized source records—not a measurement of your meal, an overall food-quality rank, or proof that one input caused a difference.

Uncertainty, made actionable

What can change this estimate?

This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with drink size, recipe or formulation, milk or cream, sweeteners and add-ins.

For “Energy drink (Ocean Spray Cran-Energy Juice Drink),” resolve drink size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 01

    drink size

    Resolve drink size only when the meal or its source gives you evidence. If it is unknown, leave the uncertainty visible instead of choosing the most convenient variant.

  2. 02

    recipe or formulation

    Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.

  3. 03

    milk or cream

    Identify the liquid base and fat level when you can. Dairy, plant-based beverages, cream, and water are different record choices—not interchangeable volume adjustments.

  4. 04

    sweeteners and add-ins

    Use a label or known recipe when available, because sweetness does not reveal dose. Keep syrups, sugars, and concentrated add-ins separate when the base record does not name them.

How we estimated this

The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point

FDC 2710762 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 15 kcal per 100 g becomes 37 kcal at 248 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.

About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” The separately listed 1 cup has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.

Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024

FoodData Central ID: 2710762

FNDDS food code: 95312560

The scaling for FDC 2710762 can be exact while the match to “Energy drink (Ocean Spray Cran-Energy Juice Drink)” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 248 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
