Daily Value: DV, a term on food labels based on the RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) designed to help consumers use food label information to plan a healthy diet. The Daily Value serves as a basis for declaring on the label the percent of the DV for each nutrient that a serving of the food provides. For example, the Daily Value for fat, based on a 2,000-calorie diet, is 65 grams (g). A food that has 13 g of fat per serving would state on the label that the "percent Daily Value" for fat is 20 percent. The DV also provides a basis for thresholds that define descriptive words for nutrient content, called descriptors, such as "high fiber" and "low fat." For example, the descriptor "high fiber" can be used if a serving of food provides 20 percent or more of the Daily Value for fiber-- that is, 5 g or more.

What is the meaning of 'daily value not established'?

Because we all have different caloric needs the exact "daily value" is different for each of us as well. Most labels estimate the daily value of a vitamin or mineral based on the average daily caloric intake of 2000 calories. Since caloric needs vary from person to person the amount of calories a person consumes may be more or less than 2000 calories and in turn the "daily value" may be more or less than what is estimated on the product label.
