Nutrition Labeling; Reference Daily Intakes

The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to establish Reference Daily Intakes (RDI's) for vitamin K, selenium, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, and chloride for use in calculating the ``percent daily values'' of these nutrients per serving of a meat or poultry product. Percent daily values are presented in the ``Nutrition Facts'' boxes on meat, poultry, and other food product labels. FSIS is also proposing to modify the units of measure of the RDI's for calcium, folate, biotin, and phosphorous. The proposed actions would help provide consumers with accurate, informative labeling on meat and poultry products that conforms with the labeling on other foods.
