Form 5500 information is as filed by the plan administrator with the Department of Labor and may be amended. Figures reflect the plan year shown, not current balances. Form 5500 contains no individual account balances. Look up the original filing at EFAST2.
In the plan year ending 30 Apr 2025, The Juice Plus 401(k) Plan covered 284 participants and held $38.5M in net assets. The plan is a 401(k) plan sponsored by The Juice Plus Company, LLC of Collierville, Tennessee. It is a multiple-employer plan covering the employees of more than one employer.
Net assets came to $135,736 per participant, well above the $48,746 median for defined contribution plans with 250 to 499 participants and well above the $62,303 median for defined contribution plans in manufacturing. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
The employer contributed $627K during the year, or $3,797 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,017; participants contributed $816K and $166K arrived as rollovers and other contributions. Benefits paid out totalled $9.3M.
Schedule C lists 3 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $56K: $195 per participant, well above the same-size median of $141. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $291K. Schedule C does not capture every cost: fees netted from fund returns and fees the employer pays directly are outside it.
Across the filings on record, net assets went from $22.2M in 2009 to $38.5M in 2024 (up 74%), and participants from 226 to 284 (up 26%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified), from an audit whose scope was limited under ERISA section 103(a)(3)(C) to exclude investment information certified by a bank or insurer.

Questions and answers
How big is The Juice Plus 401(k) Plan?
284 participants at the end of the plan year ending 30 Apr 2025, of whom 165 were active employees, with net assets of $38,549,150. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 250 to 499 participants band, which held 17,456 plans in plan year 2024.
What does The Juice Plus Company, LLC contribute per participant?
The filing reports $626,510 in employer contributions for the year, which is $3,797 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $2,017 in plan year 2024. Form 5500 reports the total only. It does not state the match formula, and the per-participant figure is an average, not any one person's contribution.
What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?
Schedule C reports $55,502 in compensation to service provider organisations, $195 per participant or 0.14% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $141 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $291,349. Investment costs deducted inside mutual funds and other pooled vehicles are not itemised on Form 5500, so these figures are a floor rather than a full cost.
Who runs the plan?
The sponsor is The Juice Plus Company, LLC. Recordkeeping or administration: Empower Annuity Insurance Company O and Ares Retirement Plan Services LLC. Investment advisory or management: Global Retirement Partners LLC. The financial statements were audited by Jackson, Howell & Associates, PLLC. Form 5500 also names the plan administrator's signer and other individuals; this site publishes organisations only.
Was the audit opinion unqualified?
The filing reports an unmodified (unqualified) opinion from a limited-scope audit, in which the accountant did not audit investment information certified by a bank or insurance company. Unmodified (formerly "unqualified") is the standard clean opinion.
How current is this, and does it show my balance?
This is the Form 5500 for the plan year 1 May 2024 to 30 Apr 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 13 Feb 2026. Filings are due seven months after the plan year ends, or nine and a half with an extension, so the public record always runs a year or more behind. It contains plan-level totals only: no individual balances, contributions or names of participants exist in the data.
