Recommended Daily Intake
The Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) form allows you to define a list of nutrients that serve as the basis for calculating daily intake values. These values are essential for generating accurate product labeling and ensuring compliance with health and regulatory standards. This form helps manage the nutritional data used in product formulations and labeling processes, ensuring compliance with health and regulatory standards.
To access Recommended Daily Intake, navigate to:
Inventory → Ingredients → Recommended Daily Intake
Use this form to define the list of nutrients that will be referenced when calculating RDI values for labeling purposes.
The data maintained here is utilized in the Item Ingredient Master Data form, under the Nutrient tab. Nutrient values defined in the RDI form help determine appropriate daily intake amounts across various product formulations.
The following details can be specified in the Recommended Daily Intake form for each nutrient:
- Code: Unique identifier for each nutrient listed in the RDI.
- Description: A name or a short description of a specific nutrient. (e.g., Protein, Vitamin C).
- Daily Intake Value: The recommended quantity of the nutrient to be consumed daily.
- UoM (Unit of Measure): The measurement unit (e.g., g, mg) for the daily intake value.
- Remarks: Optional field to include any additional notes or comments related to the nutrient.
