The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 58 calories for USDA reference amount at 120 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 48 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 0.5 g protein, 1.1 g fiber, and 8 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is fruit cocktail, (peach and pineapple and pear and grape and cherry), canned, water pack, solids and liquids, representing 88% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 cup answer different portion questions. Their values are scaled independently from the same per-100-gram source record.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 43–118 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 2709291: “Fruit cocktail, canned, juice pack.” 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 2709291, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 pouch” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 pouchUSDA-listed household measure | 90 g | 43 kcal | 0.4 g | 0.8 g | 6 mg |
| 1 snack size containerUSDA-listed household measure | 113 g | 54 kcal | 0.5 g | 1 g | 8 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 245 g | 118 kcal | 1.1 g | 2.2 g | 17 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Other fruits and fruit salads
The comparison set contains 27 exact records in the Other fruits and fruit salads USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2709291’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 2709291’s 120 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; 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
No compatible strength-side nutrient evaluated here reaches 5% DV at this reference weight, so this page does not manufacture a “strength” from a negligible percentage.
Tradeoff-side signals
Sodium8 mg
≈ 0% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat0 g
≈ 0% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Fruit cocktail, canned, juice pack,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709290 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 pouch to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 90 g and 245 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 43 kcal to 118 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709290
At an equal 100 g, this record has 14 kcal less calories than “Fruit cocktail, canned, in syrup.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Fruit cocktail, (peach and pineapple and pear and grape and cherry), canned, water pack, solids and liquids
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Fruit cocktail, (peach and pineapple and pear and grape and cherry), canned, water pack, solids and liquids supplies 88% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “canned; juice pack” fits. Inspect FDC 2709290 when “canned; in syrup” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 14 less calories and 3.4 g less carbohydrate than “Fruit cocktail, canned, in syrup.”
Only this record lists Apple juice, frozen concentrate, unsweetened, undiluted, without added ascorbic acid. Only the comparison record lists Sugars, granulated. 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.
Shared listed inputs: Fruit cocktail, (peach and pineapple and pear and grape and cherry), canned, water pack, solids and liquids.
Listed only in this record: Apple juice, frozen concentrate, unsweetened, undiluted, without added ascorbic acid.
Listed only in the comparison: Sugars, granulated.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 120 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (245 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 125 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (250 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709291 with FDC 2709290 at equal mass; use their 120 g and 125 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709291 versus FDC 2709290 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 piece or portion size, variety and ripeness, fresh versus cooked form, added sweeteners.
For “Fruit cocktail, canned, juice pack,” resolve piece or portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
piece or portion size
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
- 02
variety and ripeness
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 03
fresh versus cooked form
Match the food state before matching the number. Cooking, draining, or added liquid can change grams and concentration even when the food name barely changes.
- 04
added sweeteners
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 2709291 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 48 kcal per 100 g becomes 58 kcal at 120 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.” We display it as a USDA reference amount because it is a database comparison point—not a suggested portion or a claim about what most people should eat.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2709291
FNDDS food code: 63311170
The scaling for FDC 2709291 can be exact while the match to “Fruit cocktail, canned, juice pack” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 120 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
