Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Daily Value (DV) is the recommended amount of a nutrient that should be consumed per day based on a 2,000-calorie diet. It is listed on the Nutrition Facts panel of food products. Therefore, 25 percent of the Daily Value of iron would be listed on the Cheerios cereal box. The RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) is a more specific recommendation for individual nutrient intake based on age, gender, and various factors, and is not typically listed on food labels. Minimum Requirement and ESADDI (Estimated Safe and Adequate Daily Dietary Intake) are also not listed on food labels.
