What is it? |
| The FDA, in its infinite wisdom, has decided that DAILY REFERENCE VALUES and REFERENCE DAILY INTAKES are terms too confusing to appear on food labels. So it's hit upon the shorter, more inclusive DV, or Daily Value, which will encompass both standards. Get used to it. RDIs are suggested daily amounts of VITAMINS and MINERALS that the FDA developed based on the old U.S. Recommended Daily Allowances (USRDAs). |
