**What is percent daily value based on?**<\/p>\n

The percent daily value (DV) is a measurement system introduced by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to help consumers understand the nutritional content of food products. It is based on a 2,000-calorie daily diet, which is commonly used as a reference intake for adults. The percent daily value provides guidance on how much of a particular nutrient the food item contributes to the recommended daily intake.<\/p>\n

When looking at a nutrition label, you will find the percent daily value listed alongside various nutrients such as fat, carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, and minerals. It is important to note that the percent daily value is not a specific recommendation for you as an individual, but rather a general guideline for the average person.<\/p>\n
