How much percent of Daily Value (DV) is required for a product to be stated as 'High', 'Rich In', or 'Excellent Source Of' according to FDA?

  1. 10% or more

  2. 15% or more

  3. 20% or more

  4. 25% or more

The correct answer is: 20% or more

A product can be described as 'High', 'Rich In', or an 'Excellent Source Of' a nutrient when it provides 20% or more of the Daily Value (DV) per serving. This designation is significant as it helps consumers identify foods that are nutrient-dense and can contribute substantially to their daily nutritional intake. Foods with this labeling typically indicate a beneficial amount of essential vitamins or minerals that can support overall health when included as part of a balanced diet. The 20% threshold serves as a clear guideline for consumers, differentiating foods based on their contributions towards dietary needs.
