===Labeling requirements=== As of 2024, the FDA requires manufacturers to display the contents and %DVs of certain nutrients on packaged food or supplement labels, with the instruction:<ref name=dv3-24/> <blockquote> ''The Nutrition Facts label must list total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium, total carbohydrate, dietary fiber, total sugars, added sugars, protein, and certain vitamins and minerals. While the actual amount and %DV of vitamin D, calcium, iron, and potassium must be listed, other vitamins and minerals may be listed voluntarily by the manufacturer.'' ''However, they are required to list any vitamins and minerals that are added to the food or if a statement is made on the package labeling about their health effects or the amount contained in the food (for example, "high" or "low").'' ''Similarly, the Supplement Facts label is required to list the same nutrients as the Nutrition Facts label when any of these nutrients are found in the supplement in an amount considered to be greater than zero.'' </blockquote> The following table lists the DVs based on a caloric intake of 2000 k[[calories|cal]] (8400 k[[Joule|J]]), for adults and children four or more years of age, as of 2024.<ref name=dv3-24/><ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=http://nationalacademies.org/HMD/Activities/Nutrition/SummaryDRIs/DRI-Tables.aspx|title=Dietary Reference Intakes Tables and Application: Health and Medicine Division|website=nationalacademies.org|access-date=2018-03-11}}</ref> {| class="wikitable" !
