Nutrition Facts Apple Juice

Why does my fruit juice list “0% Calcium” despite the fruits contained being sources of Calcium?
I am wondering why my carton of pineapple-orange-banana-apple juice lists “0% Calcium” on the nutrition panel despite the fact that all the fruits used within are sources of calcium?
Yes, it is made from real fruit juice (listed in the ingredients list) and it is NOT a flavored drink.
I’m now wondering if A) the calcium isn’t listed so you’ll be prompted to buy the ‘fortified/enriched’ juice, or B) the calcium is removed for some reason (if so, that would seem to me like robbing the juice of its natural properties & health benefits).
I’m attaching a link to calcium content of different fruits so you may see the facts on different fruit’s calcium content: http://www.citracal.com/Calcium/Foods/Fruits-Juices.aspx
Thanks for any light you can shed on this. Serious answers only.
***As stated in my question, it is REAL FRUIT*** Don’t you people read these questions before you answer them?
They can’t put 0% if there is calcium in it, could be the concentrations are too low to amount to anything, or it could be due to the processing. Good on you for reading the information and seeing that things aren’t what they seem. Real juice doesn’t mean much, a lot of juices have less than 25% real juice, and where are the fruits listed, the ingredients are listed by quantity, so whatever is listed first, that is the ingredient that there is the most of in your juice.
