You say that % DV indicates whether there is a little or a lot of a nutrient. What is “a little”- What is “a lot”?
What exactly is “a lot” or “a little” varies for individuals and for nutrients. Even without being told what is high (a lot) or what is low (a little) for each nutrient, Canadians can use % DV to quickly assess if the nutrients they are trying to increase have higher percentages, and those that they are trying to decrease have lower percentages. More specific criteria are available for nutrition claims, such as “low” in a nutrient or “high” in a nutrient. These criteria vary depending on the nutrient.
