1 RDIs are based on dietary reference intake recommendations for infants through 12 months of age.
2 The amount of vitamin D may, but is not required to, be expressed in international units (IU), in addition to the mandatory declaration in mcg. Any declaration of the amount of vitamin D in IU must appear in parentheses after the declaration of the amount of vitamin D in mcg.
3 RAE = Retinol activity equivalents; 1 microgram RAE = 1 microgram retinol, 2 micrograms supplemental [BETA]-carotene, 12 micrograms dietary [BETA]-carotene, or 24 micrograms dietary [ALPHA]-carotene, or 24 micrograms dietary [BETA]-cryptoxanthin.
4 1 mg [ALPHA]-tocopherol (label claim) = 1 mg [ALPHA]-tocopherol = 1 mg RRR- [ALPHA]-tocopherol = 2 mg all rac-[ALPHA]-tocopherol.
5 NE = Niacin equivalents, 1 mg NE = 1 mg niacin = 60 milligrams tryptophan.
6 "Folate" and "Folic Acid" must be used for purposes of declaration in the labeling of conventional foods and dietary supplements. The declaration for folate must be in mcg DFE (when expressed as a quantitative amount by weight in a conventional food or a dietary supplement), and percent DV based on folate in mcg DFE. Folate may be expressed as a percent DV in conventional foods. When folic acid is added or when a claim is made about the nutrient, folic acid must be declared in parentheses, as mcg of folic acid.
7 DFE = Dietary Folate Equivalents; 1 DFE = 1 mcg naturally occurring folate = 0.6 mcg folic acid.
8 Based on the reference caloric intake of 2,000 calories for adults and children aged 4 years and older, and for pregnant women and lactating women.
