Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The DRIs (Dietary Reference Intakes) provide the recommended amounts of essential nutrients that are necessary to maintain health and prevent deficiencies. Since the goal is to develop a nutritionally complete formula diet, the nutrition scientist will need to refer to the DRIs to ensure that the formula contains all of the necessary nutrients in the appropriate amounts. MyPlate and Exchange lists are tools for healthy eating and meal planning, while the Dietary Guidelines provide general dietary advice and recommendations. While these resources may be helpful, they are not specifically designed for developing a nutritionally complete formula diet.
