A food label shows Vitamin D with 15% next to it. What does 15% represent? Recommended Daily Value Recommended Daily Allowance Food Daily Allowance Full Dietary Recommendation

Respuesta :

Recommended Daily Allowance

Answer:

Recommended Daily Value

Explanation:

   DRV  summarizes Daily Recommended Values, which means the amounts of nutrients that people must consume to have a healthy diet. For each nutrient, Daily Value is different as each one has a role in food and should be consumed in a specific amount.

   The percentage (which appears as % DV in the labels) is how much that portion of food contributes to meeting that nutrient's daily requirement.  For example, if the calcium recommendation is 1000 mg per day and one serving provides 200 mg, that means 20% recommended value.
