DAILY VALUES (DV) NUTRITION INFORMATION
Daily Value (DV) is made up of two sets of references, DRVs and DRIs.
Daily Reference Values (DRVs)*
| Food Component | DRV |
|---|---|
| fat (total) | 65 grams (g) (based on 30% of calories) |
| saturated fatty acids | 20 g (based on 10% of calories) |
| cholesterol | 300 milligrams (mg) |
| total carbohydrate | 300 g (based on 60% of calories) |
| fiber | 25 g |
| sodium | 2400 mg |
| potassium | 3500 mg |
| protein** | 50 g (based on 10% of calories) |
* Based on 2000 calories a day for adults and children over age 4.
** DRV for protein does not apply to certain populations. Recommendations for protein have been established for these groups: children 1 to 3 years = 13 grams; children 4 to 8 years = 19 grams; children 9 to 13 = 34 grams; infants under 1 year = 14 grams; pregnant and lactating women = 71 grams.
DRIs (Dietary Reference Intakes): A set of dietary references for adequate intake levels, tolerable upper intake levels, and estimated average requirements of essential nutrients based on the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs).*** The amounts are for adults over age 19 (unless otherwise noted) per day (/d).
