Guided Daily Amount

GDA “Guided Daily Amount” is a public health tool located at both front and back of pack which provides nutritional information per serving for the average daily number of calories, fat, saturated fats, total sugar and sodium/salt required by adults and children.

GDA values help the consumers to decide what should be eating, and this makes planning a healthy balanced diet much easier.


simple steps to read the nutrition table 
 
Step 1: Look at the Serving Size

Compare the serving size on the Nutrition Facts Table to the amount that you eat. If you eat more or less than the serving size on the label, you will get more or less of the nutrients that are listed.

Step 2: Use the % DRI/NRV (Means)
Using the % DRI/NRV value can tell you whether an amount of food has “a little” or “a lot” of a nutrient. As a general rule of thumb, 5% or less is “a little” for any nutrient and 15% or more is “a lot” for any nutrient.
