* Percentage Daily Value based on a 2000 calorie
diet.
% Daily Value
The numbers shown under % Daily Value are based on a 2000 Calorie
diet. Each number represents the percentage that one serving contributes
to the dietary requirements of a certain nutrient. For example,
20g of carbohydrates (refer to label above) contributes to 7% of
the daily carbohydrate needs for a 2000 Calorie diet. However, unless
you are following a 2000 Calorie diet the % Daily Value should only
be used as a reference.
