Nutrients omitted from nutritional facts that should theoretically be there?

Been buying 100% unsweetened Tart Cherry Juice lately, also gave 100% unsweetened Blueberry and Pomegranate juices a try, and the nutritional facts don't say anything about vitamin A, C, etc, even though they should be loaded with it, no? Cherries in general are a very high source of vitamin C, are they not?

Here is information on the updates that were made to nutritional labels by the FDA in 2016. Vitamins A and C are no longer required to be on the label since deficiencies of these vitamins are rare today. They can be included voluntarily.

Sure, why not skip the nutritional content, it only draws attention to those products without any.

I would love it if they started listing Roundup and other pesticides as ingredients but, as American's I guess we just have to trust the system in place

Then there are all the other toxins we eat.

Cali just got around to banning toxic food dyes, maybe the other 49 states will notice

Not to mention, the juice generally has far fewer nutrients in it than the fruit itself has. Just because blueberries are high in vitamin C does not necessarily mean the juice made from the blueberries does.

That doesn't mean it has none. I highly doubt that's the case with cherry juice given the absurdly high vitamin C content some cultivars have, like acerola.
