                                The US Food and Drug Administration updated its nutrition label regulations in 2016, modernizing the Reference Daily Intake (RDI) values and their use. While both RDI and RDA provide guidance on nutrient intake, they serve different purposes and are calculated differently. Understanding the distinction is essential for anyone interested in nutrition and health.
