These claims can be used for any food that contains sufficient levels of a vitamin(s) or mineral(s) to meet the conditions for the claim. For example, if the total amount of the nutrient in the food is 10% or more of the Daily Value (the amount would be labelled on the Nutrition Facts panel), that food would qualify for a “good source” claim. If the total amount of the nutrient in the food is 20% of the Daily Value then the food would qualify for an “excellent source” claim.
