"The % Daily Value is the percentage of a nutrient that one serving of the product contributes toward the daily recommended amount."

This is based on a 2,000 calories per day diet.

For example a food label may say 12g of fat = 18% daily value.

This means that 12 grams of fat is 18% of the total 65 grams of fat recommended per day

You can use the percentage to decide if there is a low or high amount of that particular nutrient in one serving of the product.

Low = 5% or less

High = 20% or more
