                                According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Percent Daily Values (%DV) on nutrition labels are based on a standard 2,000-calorie diet. While a common search query links this to Quizlet, the core principle is a standardized benchmark, not an individualized plan. Understanding this standard is key to accurately interpreting food labels and making informed dietary choices for your specific needs, which may differ from the 2,000-calorie baseline.
