percent daily value

Percent Daily Value (%DV) on nutrition labels shows how much a nutrient in a serving of food contributes to your total daily diet, based on a standard 2,000-calorie intake. For example, a 10% DV means that one serving provides 10% of the recommended daily amount of that nutrient. It helps you gauge if a food is high or low in certain nutrients and supports balanced eating. Keep in mind, your individual needs may vary depending on your age, sex, and activity level.
