Daily Value

Daily value (% DV) illustrates the amount of a specific nutrient such as sodium in each serving, relative to the recommended limit set by the FDA.

For an average adult, the suggested daily limit is 2,300mg of sodium (based on a 2,000-calorie diet).

Use daily value (%DV) on a nutrition facts label to compare menu options and choose the best foods for a balanced diet that meets your individual goals.

Here are a few key tips to consider when reviewing daily values:

  • 20% DV or greater per serving is considered high
  • 5% DV or less is considered low
  • Balance your favorite foods that have a high level of sodium with other choices that have a low level
  • Daily Value is based on a measured serving of food, which may differ from the amount typically consumed
  • FDA publishes general nutrition advice based on a 2,000-calorie daily diet. However, individual needs vary, and your %DV may be higher or lower depending on height, weight, and physical activity
