19. This is a different standard than the "good source" claim under the U.S. law, which requires that the food contain 10% of the Recommended Daily Intake per serving. Servings sizes of various foods in the U.S. are defined by regulation and in the case of fruits are stated as a piece or number of pieces of a particular fruit as opposed to a certain number of grams. In some cases those servings are less than 100 grams, and in some cases they are more than 100 grams. To facilitate easier comparison between types of fruit we have utilized a 100 gram serving as our standard and have utilized the World Health Organization's RNI in light of different intake standards across the world. All nutritional charts are from the USDA Database and are for whole fruits, not juice.
