The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 25 calories for USDA reference amount at 248 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 10 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 32 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beverages, tropical punch, ready-to-drink, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.

The reference amount and 1 small drink 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 2–102 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 2710567: “Fruit 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 2710567, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 fl oz (with ice)” through “1 extra large drink” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

02 · Fixed-weight context

Where 100 grams sits inside Fruit drinks

The comparison set contains 14 exact records in the Fruit drinks USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2710567’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 2710567’s 248 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

Sodium32 mg

≈ 1% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Fruit juice drink,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2710582 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 fl oz (with ice) to 1 extra large drink

    USDA assigns those measures 23 g and 1,023 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 2 kcal to 102 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2710582

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 44 kcal less calories than “Fruit juice drink (Sunny D).” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Single listed source: Beverages, Tropical Punch, ready-to-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 “Fruit juice drink” fits. Inspect FDC 2710582 when the exact wording “Fruit juice drink (Sunny D)” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2710567 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Fruit juice drink” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

A single-source formulation

Beverages, Tropical Punch, ready-to-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.

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 “Fruit 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 2710567 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 10 kcal per 100 g becomes 25 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.” 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: 2710567

FNDDS food code: 92510610

The scaling for FDC 2710567 can be exact while the match to “Fruit juice drink” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 248 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
