Why are juices required to have at least 10% Daily Value (DV) for a minimum of 3 vitamins and minerals under these Guidelines?

These Guidelines balance children’s fruit, nutrition, and caloric consumption requirements. Juices can add significant nutritional value to the diet but are concentrated sources of calories. The requirement for at least 10% DV for a minimum of 3 vitamins and minerals ensures that the juices offered in school provide adequate nutrition within the upper limit of 120 calories per 8 oz for all juices.
