Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DRIs (Dietary Reference Intakes) provide specific recommendations for nutrient intake based on age, gender, and other factors. Since the nutrition scientist is developing a formula diet, she would need to ensure that the formula contains all the necessary nutrients in the appropriate amounts to meet the needs of healthy adults. The other options listed (Exchange System lists, Dietary Guidelines, MyPlate) are focused more on general healthy eating patterns and may not provide the specific nutrient guidance needed for the development of a formula diet.
