GDAs are based on population average figures, for example, an average adult with a healthy weight and an average level of activity. Individual requirements vary depending on age, weight and level of activity. A very active person may need more energy (calories) and a less active person may need less.
The GDAs set out in the Understanding the Nutrition Label section indicate how many calories (kcal), and how much total fat, saturated fat and salt, men and women should aim to consume each day. These guidelines are recommended by health and nutrition professionals.
GDAs are currently being developed for other nutrients. The food industry is continually testing effective ways to provide clear information for consumers on food packages. This leaflet will be updated as new information is introduced.
