Request your free copy of this guide here

In light of consumer demand for more information to help them understand food labelling, Guideline Daily Amounts (GDAs) have now been reviewed by IGD. They have now been developed for men, women and children and the range of nutrients has been extended to also include GDAs for total sugars, carbohydrate, protein, fibre, salt and sodium.

This free report lists all the Guideline Daily Amounts values that are based upon, and are consistent with, the latest published scientific data on dietary requirements and recommendations and have been developed in consultation with recognised experts in nutrition. It also provides guidance to industry on the best way to present the GDAs on the back of pack following the recommendations made from in depth consumer research. (28 pages).
